Train Ticket Booking Trick: This person used such a brain to travel for free by train that whoever is knowing about it is praising him. The limit is that even the railways could not do anything after knowing about his Jugaad. So let us tell you about his special trick...
Even today, railways are the favorite and economical means of travel for people. If they have to travel to a faraway place, people first check the train ticket. However, there are many people who travel by train, but they find it difficult to buy a ticket. They enjoy travelling without a ticket, but sometimes they have to pay a heavy fine if they get caught in ticket checking. By the way, a person used such a Jugaad, due to which he kept travelling in train for a year without spending even a single penny. During this time, he saved about 1.06 lakh rupees of fare. The limit is that even after knowing about his Jugaad, the railways could not do anything.
You must be wondering who this person was and how he kept cheating the railways so much. Actually the name of this person is Ed Wise, who lives in Britain. He used such a brain for free travel by train that whoever is knowing about this is praising him. So let us tell you this special trick of his…
29-year-old Ed Wise is a personal finance writer by profession. He closely studied the train timings and delay patterns, which gave him an idea of when the train would be late and when he could get a full refund. He then booked tickets with complete planning so that he could get full money back every time. Using this method, he got the money back for all the journeys made in 2023. His plan helped him save more than ₹ 1.06 lakh in just three years.
In fact, according to the rules of train delay in Britain, if the train is late by 15 minutes, then 25% refund is given, 50% refund is given for a delay of 30 minutes and the entire money is refunded if the delay is more than an hour. Ed Wise took full advantage of this policy. He found that strikes, maintenance and bad weather are the main reasons for train delays. Based on this, he planned his journey at such a time that there is a high possibility of the train being late and he can get maximum refund.
Wise told that it completely depends on understanding the system and planning correctly. He set up his journey in a planned manner in such a way that he gets full money back every time and can travel for free throughout the year.
Ed Wise's story has become an inspiration for those who want to reduce their travel costs. He proved that if the rules are understood closely and the right decision is taken at the right time, then huge savings can be made in travel expenses by taking advantage of the existing policies. His smart trick showed that with a little understanding and planning, the burden on the pocket can be reduced.
