Indian Railways
Excess charging for 2nd AC

I have traveled from Hyderabad to Bangalore

Train: 2785

Berth no: 35-SLB

Ticket No: 30234906

PNR No: 133-8578673

I would like to bring to your notice that the passenger travels on 2nd A.C on the SLB & SUB have been charged

more and the logic is as follows:

2nd AC SLB/SUB

1) The length is not the same compared to LB/UB

2) The width is not the same compared to LB/UB

3) The ventilation of A.C is not available when compared to LB/UB

4) The middle tray is not available compared to LB

5) The leg space is very negligible compared to LB

6) The sitting area is very less compared to LB

7) There is no 3pin / 2pin plug point for charging/laptop charging

Also note that the 2nd AC, SLB & SUB is equivalent to 3rd AC traveling mode.

With this circumstances

how you can charge more than 3rd AC charges when facilities is same as 3rd AC in 2nd AC SLB/SUB?

or How you can treat a passenger when SLB/SUB and LB/UB both have paid the same amount.

with lesser facilities when SLB and LB passenger are paying the same amount?

Solution:

1) Either the SLB and SUB of 2nd AC berths should be alloted to the WL passengers of 3rd AC

2) Or you should charge the amount of the same of 3rd AC

I would like to have clarification if myne is not justified
