Answer:
A new racket has cropped up to the utter discomfiture of the Railways — “insured ticketless travelling”.
The desperation of the Railways to rake in more revenue by raising ticket fares has apparently resulted in a racket in which a section of the hapless commuters have sought refuge.
Top Railway officials said some touts have floated an “insurance scheme” which guarantees the commuter ticketless travel for a monthly premium of about Rs. 100, guarding the commuter against any inspection by the Railway authorities or the police.
