An old man was in shock as the lady at the ticket counter in Hassan railway station on Friday morning said the ticket to Arsikere would cost him ₹300. The passenger wondered, “Why ₹300 for a 40-km journey?” The lady at the counter responded, “As you have not booked the ticket in advance, you will have to pay an excess ₹250, besides the actual travel fare.” Rajamma, 72, a resident of Hassan, had to attend the funeral of a relative in Shivamogga. She paid ₹350 to travel by Mysuru–Talaguppa Express, as against the actual price of ₹100.
