Improvement of Passenger Seating Capacity and Other Facilities in Indian Railway Coaches
Main Article Content
Abstract
Among different modes of transportation, travel through train is very comfortable and enjoyable especially for people travelling long distances. Population of people increases day by day and hence the requirements also increases in par with the population. Due to increase in population, most of them are not getting the seats at times. In order to overcome this, number of seats could be increased without modifying the outer dimensions of the coach which will be helpful and beneficial for the required people. The proposed idea is to increase the passenger carrying capacity of coaches of Indian Railways from 72 to 84 per coach. 12 seats per coach are increased when compared to existing non-AC 3-tier sleeper coach. Separate ladder provisions for climbing on to the upper compartments, additional windows, power socket for each seat are also provided.
