I am a regular traveller from Mangalore-Yeswanthpur (Bangalore) and vice-versa by the recently introduced Yeswanthpur-Mangalore express train 6517/6518. Recently, a side middle berth has been introduced in the II class sleeper bogies which is very uncomfortable. The side berths are already narrow and a third middle berth has compounded the problems of the passengers. There are no steps provided to climb the side berths. The upper berth is not at all comfortable since the roof is curving and the panels are coming in the way. This is the most unscientific way of providing additional berths in the already cramped II sleeper bogies. The passenger feels that he/she is being treated like cattle and does not deserve any comfortable travel. Railways aim is only profit making without caring for customer comfort. The newly introduced side middle berths should be immediately withdrawn for the comfort of II class sleeper passengers.
