Railway to charge 『user fee』 at busy stations, tickets may cost more
印度鐵路公司將在繁忙的車站收取「使用費」，火車票或漲價
NEW DELHI: The Indian Railways will soon start levying a 「token user fee」 from passengers taking trains from busy stations, which will result in marginal increase in the total fare. The user fee, which will be collected for redevelopment of railway stations and modernsation of station infrastructure, will be included in the ticket as it is done in the case of air travel.
新德裡：印度鐵路公司不久將開始對從繁忙車站乘坐火車的乘客徵收「象徵性使用費」，這將導致總票價略有上漲。收取的使用費將用於火車站的重建和車站基礎設施的現代化，使用費將含在票價中。
「We are going to keep a very small amount for the user charge. We will issue a notification for the user charge for stations including where existing ones are being redeveloped and also those which are not being redeveloped. When the redevelopment of the stations gets completed the user fee will go to the concessionaires and till then the collected user fee will be utilised by railways for providing better facilities to passengers across stations,」 railway board CEO and chairman V K Yadav said.
印度鐵路委員會執行長兼主席亞達夫稱：「我們將收取少量使用費。我們會對收取使用費的車站發出通知，包括正在重建的現有車站及未重建的車站。當重建完成後，使用費將由特許經營者收取，而在此之前，鐵路會利用所收取的使用費，為跨站旅客提供更佳的設施。」
He added the charge will be affordable and won’t pinch the passengers. Yadav said it was important as the Indian Railways is focusing on providing world class facilities.
他補充說，使用費金額合理，不會對乘客造成壓力。亞達夫說，印度鐵路公司正專注於提供世界一流的設施。
Responding to a specific question whether this fee will be collected at all railway stations, Yadav said there are about 7,000 stations on the Indian Railways network and the user fee will be levied at barely 10-15% of the stations where the footfall is projected to increase in the next five years. Going by that calculation, the number of such potential stations would be between 700 and 1,000.
在回答是否在所有火車站收取此費用這個問題時，亞達夫說，印度鐵路網絡大約有7000個車站，未來5年客流量預計會增加的車站中，只有10% -15%的車站會收取使用費。按照這樣的計算，這類潛在車站的數量將在700至1000個之間。
Earlier, railway officials had told reporters at several press meets that the user fee would be charged only at developed stations.
早些時候，鐵路官員在幾次新聞發布會上告訴記者，使用費只在重建的車站收取。
A ministry spokesperson said, 「The value of the benefits will outweigh the minimalistic user fee when paid.」 He added this will be done in a phased manner and bringing 10-15% stations under this scheme is the final possibility.
鐵道部發言人說:「支付使用費帶來的好處很多。」他補充說，我們會分階段推行，最終可能會把10-15%的車站納入該計劃。
In a written reply, Union railway minister Piyush Goyal had told Lok Sabha on Wednesday, 「A Group of Secretaries (GoS) was constituted for redevelopment and modernisation of railway stations to provide better safety, passenger amenities and services. The GoS interalia suggested the levy of a nominal user fee for redevelopment of stations, which is presently under consideration.」
聯邦鐵道部長皮尤什·戈亞爾周三在書面答覆中對人民院表示，「組建了一個秘書小組，負責火車站的重建和現代化，以提高安全性、旅客便利度以及提供更好的服務。」該小組特別建議在重建的車站徵收象徵性的使用費，目前正在審核中。
