It is worth mentioning that, in an attempt to prevent sudden spurt in fares during the festive season, railways recently informed that it will put a regulator in place to set a ceiling for fares, before allowing private players to run trains.

V K Yadav, the railway board chairman recently said in his reply to a national daily, "It will take some time to bring in private players to run trains. We will have the regulator, which will deal with fare, allocation of routes and safety. The trains and routes will be allotted through a transparent bidding process."
