Now, first class pass holders can pay extra fare to travel by AC locals
While passengers can avail this facility at the booking counters, the service will move to online soon.
Mumbai After a long-pending demand from commuters, the Railway Board has finally decided to allow first class pass holders to pay extra and travel by air-conditioned (AC) locals.
While passengers can avail this facility at the booking counters, the service will move to online soon. However, officials said that those upgrading their first-class passes will have to pay for the entire period and not just the remaining days.
Amidst the political feud regarding the functioning of the AC local trains, railway officials are trying various measures to ensure that more passengers opt for AC locals. Railways are upgrading their systems to accommodate the change in ticket fares. The Centre for Railway information systems (CRIS) is upgrading their software systems to include the additional fare. It will soon be available through booking counters and Universal Ticket System (UTS) application as well.
A senior railway official said, “Currently, this facility will be available through booking counters. However, we will soon include it in our online ticketing systems. We are in the process of upgrading our system.”
As per a recent circular by the railway ministry, existing first class quarterly, half yearly and yearly AC local season ticket holders will have to pay the difference of fare for the entire period, irrespective of the days left on their existing first class passes. Similarly, the validity of the pass shall also remain the same as the existing first-class pass.
The AC local fares were reduced on May 5 this year making the minimum single-journey ticket to around ₹ 35 for up to 10km. “This is definitely a good move by the railways. However, they should have also made provisions for first class pass holders to board an AC train for single journeys as well by paying the extra fare. This will help divert crowds during peak hours,” said Shaurya Chehria, 34, regular first-class commuter.
After protests for rescheduling regular local trains in peak hours to AC trains, Central Railway had cancelled 10 additional services last month. Currently, the central railway has 56 and western railway has 48 AC local services.
Meanwhile, the railways have long-term plans to come up with 238 AC locals that will replace the existing fleet gradually in both Central and Western Railway. As a part of the Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP) plan till 2025, 47 more rakes will come up. The remaining 191 rakes will be procured gradually based on the services that will be added.

Mumbai’s first-class local train passengers can finally travel in AC local trains by upgrading their quarterly passes and paying the difference in fare. The fare, however, will have to be paid for the period from when the upgrade was made till the date of expiry of the pass.
Central Railway (CR) chief public relations officer Shivaji Sutar said, “The Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS) is tweaking the ticketing software and it will soon be implemented.”

The railway ministry in a recent circular has said that first-class quarterly, half-yearly and yearly season tickets will be allowed to be converted into season tickets for travel in AC EMU services as per the terms and conditions. The fare difference will have to be paid for the entire duration of the pass irrespective of the number of days it is considered valid.
Also read: Mumbai: Central Railway says no more new AC locals for now
The facility will be available at booking counters and on the Universal Ticket System (UTS) app for which CRIS has been asked to make the necessary changes.
The fares for AC local single and return journey tickets had been substantially reduced since May 5, 2022. With this reduction, the minimum single journey ticket (up to 10 km) now costs R35 only. The first AC local service in Mumbai began on December 25, 2017 on Western Railway (WR).
While CR runs 56 AC services with four of its five trains in use, WR operates 48 such services with four trains in use.
After protests from commuters who illegally boarded local trains from Kalwa car shed and also those from Badlapur who were against the new AC services, various political party leaders and elected representatives made the operation of AC local train into a political issue, leading to cancellation of a few services.

“While there has been a drop in prices of AC and first class tickets, there has been no change in the fare of monthly passes,” the officer said.

Mumbai: First-class passes now valid for AC local trains
Soon after India got its first air-conditioned local train in Mumbai in December 2017, the Western Railway has recently proposed to make the existing first-class passes of local train valid for the AC locals as well. The AC local train passengers need not buy separate monthly passes now, they can just pay the difference amount to the ticket checker on board. Here's more.
New facility to be available in two weeks' time: Sources
According to reports, the new facility proposed by the Western Railway's Mumbai division will be brought into effect within two weeks' time. Sources also said that the decision about the facility has been taken at the highest level of the Indian Railways .
Proposal made after suggestions from commuters
The proposal was made after many passengers made a fuss about the frequency of the AC trains and that the pass of the AC locals they had to buy was not applicable for normal trains. After the implementation of the facility, every AC compartment will have a ticket checker with handheld machines for issuing tickets to first-class pass holders.
