I WAS NOW JUST THINKING DEEPLY THAT INDIAN RAILWAYS AND ALL OUR NATIONAL DOMESTIC AIRLINES CARRIERS MAY ADOPT TWO FARES STRATEGIES, ONE IS TO GIVE HEAVY DISCOUNTS AT THE TIME WHEN RAILWAYS AND AIRWAYS ARE PASSING THROUGH LEAN PERIOD,WHEN THERE ARE VERY FEW TRAVELLING PASSENGERS ROUND ABOUT 50 TO 60 PERCENT OF BERTHS AND SEATS ARE EASILY AVAILABLE DURING THIS LEAN SEASONS SO THE TRAINS AND PLANES HAVE AMPLE OF EMPTY BERTHS AND MOST OF THE SEATS VERY OFTEN GOES EMPTY TILL THE FINAL DESTINATION STATIONS, SO MOST OF THE INDIAN PASSENGERS CAN AVAIL OF THIS DISCOUNTED AND CONCESSIONAL FARES OF THIS LEAN SEASON AND MAKE THEIR TRIPS IN AIRWAYS OR RAILWAYS NO OR LESS CARRYING EMPTY SEATS MEANS MORE PROFITS TO RAILWAYS AND DOMESTIC CARRIERS, IN THE OTHER SECOND CASE IT IS WHEN THERE IS A PEAK PERIOD AND ALL THE RAILWAY TRAINS AND DOMESTIC AIRLINES ARE MAKING HUGE PROFITS SO NO SEATS ARE AT ALL VACANT,IF THIS PROCEDURE IS ADOPTED BY INDIAN RAIILWAYS AND DOMESTIC AIRLINES CARRIERS OPERATING IN INDIA MOST OF THE INDIAN PASSENGERS WILL MAKE FIRM DECISIONS TO TRAVEL DURING THESE LEAN PERIODS BY TAKING AN OPPORTUNITY TO AVAIL DISCOUNTED TICKETS FACILITIES OF 50 TO 60 PERCENT REBATES IN RAILWAYS AND AIRWAYS TICKETS DURING THE LEAN PERIODS AND ENSURE THAT VERY VERY LESS SEATS ARE RUNNING EMPTY,THUS I THINK THAT THE LOSSES SUFFERED COULD BE MINIMISED TO A GREAT EXTENT IN RAILWAYS AND DOMESTIC AIRLINES OPERATIONS BY ADOPTING DISCOUNTED FARES OF 50 TO 60 PERCENT MARGINS TO ALL CATEGORIES OF PASSENGERS,INDIAN BONAFIDE CITIZENS ON PERUSAL OF PASS PORT OR ADHAAR CARD VERIFICATIONS ONLY
