Railways Refund: An Indian woman living in Sweden took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her contentment about paying higher taxes after receiving compensation for a train AC failure. The woman received a text from the railways informing her of a 50 per cent ticket refund in the form of a voucher. Not only that, the railways further apologised for the inconvenience caused to the passengers.
“Why I don’t complain too much about taxes in Sweden,” wrote the woman who goes by the handle @GirlFromMalmo on X.
According to the screenshot posted on X, the text reads, “The AC on your train is out of order. You will automatically be compensated for 50 per cent of the ticket price in the form of a voucher that can be used to buy new SJ tickets. You will receive your voucher via e-mail. We apologise for the inconvenience.”
The message further directed her to visit a website in case she wanted to “rebook her journey free of charge” or “cancel and receive a refund”.
