Re# 1138631-39              
if capacity is just 10% more than regular single deck coach, and cost is 2x , I don't understand your logic (or rather railways) to build these coaches. anyways i'll get figures on fares and no of seats and share with you to explain my take

Re# 1138631-40              
Here I am with figures: 120 seats ind double deck, vs single decker which has 78 or 72, you can calculate the %age.
350 is fare in Intercity for INDB-BPL,
445 is fare in double deck for INDB-BPL, Is there any explaination for this, instead of lesser fare the fare is almost 27% more than regular CC.

india they are restricted at 110 kmph . so so fares are fixed at base fares of express ac chair cars . for other coaches lhb coaches the cost of construction will be 50% more . for duronto raj and ac superfast express the fares are fixwd 10% more than base fares and difference in fares dependas on catering charges the capacity of lhb is 10% more then icf coaches. lhb concept of coach buildong for higher speeds and better safety conditions you can see the difference in ladt week raj express accident where damage to coach is less and if the same to icf coach then coaches will crash against each other blocking the entry and conduct rescue operations . tbese type of coaches aredefinetly needed for india but fortunately in india these are properly utilised for right trains and befits aee extracted until politicial interference and politics doent influence and even railways officials think thefinancial viability with business sense ir will continue to suffer and travellrs with not get right service. indorw mumbai bandra duronto is one good exple of railways callousness in fixing the right time it should lave at 2000 to reach d destination and eeach at 800 in both directions and should run on sundays from indore

Re# 1138631-42              
Agree with your explanation my point here is reducing a fare by 10-15% might increase the occupancy by 30-40% thus making IR earn more. As a passenger a person is least bothered about what kind of coach he is going to sit, what matters is time and cost and there are many time and cost efficient options out there including other trains, I really don't care personally about this train as iam not a regular commuter to that sector.

These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
