People often complain about the rising train fares. People say that the government does not provide as much facilities in the trains as it charges the fare from them. But if we say that there is such a train in this country in which one does not have to pay even a single fare for traveling… then will you be able to believe it. More than 12 thousand trains run everyday in India. In order to travel in all these, passengers have to pay a fixed fee. But for the last 74 years, a train in the country is making passengers travel free of cost.
