Reduce loss to Consumer in Surge Pricing in Trasport Sector
Government is cleverly helping the Corporates against the interest of Consumer. The surge pricing levied heftily by all modes of transport -Taxies, Rail ways, Road Transport services, Air ways.
Unfortunately, the Government instead of strengthening the Public transport under the state, it is helping the corporates to take advantage against the existing Government Road Transport/Railways which ultimately dearly hitting service cost to the Poor consumer.
Local Circles may take up the issue with Government to reduce the burden on end consumer in getting better services in public Trasport.
The following are some of the suggestions to Government:
1. Increase the number of trains by Indian Railways apart from private IRCTC etc transport ( Vande Bharat trains etc)
2. Allot both profitable routes as well as non profitable rural routes to Private operators in some viable ratio to them.
3. Put reasonable surge pricing whether it is Railways, Road wayes or private taxies or Air ways keeping in view of interest of Poor consumer also.
4 Increasingly support State Governments in builting Metro services, Local train services in major cities irrespective of the party in ruling in that State by way of central share in funds.
5. Encourage Vehicle pooling by Commuters by way of giving Income tax exemptions to Salaried class with some proper guidelines more

Shortages are created by Govt. it self not supporting public support. In Telangana free bus provided without adding new buses. No funds available for MMTS expansion. Plan Very Big for Metro trains. All politics and Govts. are for corporate support. The Govt. activism in this kind of services shall be minimal to that they should not rob the customers, however, it is not happening. Even a driver cancels trip, OLA is charging customer, don't know how to get redress as it will not respond for queries on App and no other mode available for correspondence. General Public cries fall in deaf ears. more
