Make rail tickets more like bus tickets

It was reported in the news- papers that there is a shortage of train tickets and that the Railway Department has decided to use the existing stocks in hand with the previous fare to fill the shortfall. We all know that these tickets are printed in two colours – text in black and two parallel lines in dark purple- on a very thick purplish colour board which is imported.

Shouldn’t we go for tickets similar to the bus tickets (printing in B/W on thin paper) as the cost of printing is then going to be much cheaper? Over to the Railway authorities for their kind consideration.
