Historical Fares
In 1938, least tariff was half a Chakram and first class tickets were charged 50% more than usual. Fare for children below 3 years was completely slashed, while for children over 3 and below 14, it was half of the adult’s fare. Carrying luggage was usually simple as there was no luggage ticket. However, in case of a luggage weighing anywhere between 28 to 56 pounds, charges equivalent to 4 chakras were taken. Over 56 pounds, luggage fare equalled to 6 chakras. Value of erstwhile Chakram was three times that of a present 100 rupee note; evidently travel charges those days were far over and above.
