The railway enterprise is supported mainly by the fare income. The amount of this income can be increased through the following two ways: (a) increasing the number of passengers, (b) raising the fare. But we can not think that these are independent of each other. The rough raising may drive away the passengers from train to other modes. It is important for reducing the deficit to find how to increase the income without decreasing the number of the passengers. So in this paper, the influence of raising fare on the passengers is analyzed by means of the statistical data since 1950.
