And collect more from GST(7%central mandatory), insurance part of tickets... Let's hope for the best!!!

然后就能够从商品服务税(中央强制征收7%)、机票所含的保险费中收取更多的钱……让我们拥抱希望！

一派胡言。又搞高铁又搞TRAIN 18！！！？？？莫迪应该好好想想。如果这就是TRAIN 18的票价的话，那么高铁的票价岂不是要和飞往伦敦的机票价格一样！！！？？？

Airfare from Varanasi to Delhiis ₹1,978 and it takes 1 hr. 35 minutes. Who will take Train 18 for 4 1/2 hrsand spend ₹1,760 for a Chair car seat?

从瓦拉纳西到德里的机票是1978卢比且只花费1小时35分钟。那么还有谁会花4小时30分钟和1760卢比去坐Train18呢？
