The Railways have hiked commission charges on Janasadharan Ticket Counters; this means commuters will now be charged Rs 2 per ticket and Rs 5 per season ticket, instead of the earlier Rs 1. The changes will come into effect from September 1.

Janasadharan Ticket Counters — over 400 on CR and WR — are general stores/shops that have been given railway software connectivity to sell local train tickets at a premium to avoid crowds at stations.
