I suppose the customer will be contributing with these fare increases for all the new plastic rubbish TCDD are to introduce, also a huge decrease in the passenger numbers heading east. It will soon be cheaper to go by coach, at least you don’t end up two to three hours late doing so
With the inflation it’s only normal to increase the prices like this. They are still ridiculousely cheap for a big ‘single’ compartiment for 20 hours of train
You have right. It’s because of subsidiary. If I were the gov, I would only support seats, not couchettes nor sleepers.
