Passengers using railway station parking facilities in Kerala will now have to pay higher fees, as parking charges have been increased across multiple stations. Additionally, those who wish to store their helmets separately will be required to pay an extra fee, adding to commuter expenses.
The revised tariff, implemented by railway authorities, has sparked criticism from daily commuters and two-wheeler users, who argue that the additional charges are an unnecessary burden. Many have called for a reconsideration of the new pricing structure, especially for regular travelers who rely on railway station parking.
Officials justify the hike, citing increased maintenance costs and facility upgrades, but the move has led to widespread concerns over affordability and convenience for passengers.
