Season train tickets are valid for travel up to 150 kilometres on first- and second-class bookings, according to the Railways' website - indianrail.gov.in. Fares for first class MST or monthly season ticket bookings are four times compared to second class fares. The Railways currently allows only one season ticket per passenger for travelling between two stations.
