People traveling by train face a lot of problems during festive season and holidays. Because at that time it was very difficult to get a confirmed ticket. The wait starts as soon as the booking starts 120 days in advance. In such situations, it becomes difficult to travel by train as a family. In this background, the railway has given good news to these passengers. Most of their problems will be reduced. They can enjoy AC travel on unreserved tickets. Currently more than 10000 trains are running across the country, including premium trains like Shatabdi, Rajdhani, and Vande Bharat. With 2 crore passengers traveling daily, the challenges of securing reservations during peak seasons are evident.
The Railway Department has unveiled a groundbreaking plan to address these issues. By introducing AC facilities in unreserved coaches, passengers can now experience a new level of comfort previously reserved for premium travelers. The challenge of balancing coach capacity and AC installation has been a long-standing obstacle, but recent developments show promising solutions. The Namo Bharat Rapid Rail’s innovative coach design between Bhuj and Ahmedabad sets the stage for enhanced passenger experiences.
Railway engineers are implementing measures to increase passenger capacity in unreserved coaches, ensuring a cool and comfortable journey for all travelers. The strategic installation of 15-15 ton AC units in coaches with a maximum capacity of 270 passengers promises a metro-like travel experience. Trials on such coaches are already underway, paving the way for future enhancements in unreserved travel.
The upcoming introduction of ACs with double the capacity of Shatabdi and Rajdhani trains in unreserved coaches signifies a significant step towards equitable comfort for all passengers. By equipping coaches with advanced cooling systems, the railway aims to redefine the standards of train travel and provide a seamless experience for travelers nationwide.
