If travelling for end 2 end in Chair car coaches ,than stay ready for a Back pain, Some reason are As these seats are not flexible i.e. without pushback .like Those of LHB coaches ..also the seating arrangement is having 3❌3 seats with very less space in corridor compared to other ICF (2S) coaches ..
where there is ample of space and luggage🛄 can be kept either on luggage Rack or below the seat .💺.(Pic attached).
But in Garibrath big size luggage like Bag🎒 and suitcase will not come below the seat

.
If travelling with excess luggage in Garibrath CC than it can spoil your journey . as there is less space in luggage rack..
Due to 3❌3 seating style , one cannot move itself ,just have to sit In a straight direction .
During 🌃 night the conditions gets worsen ,
i.e. The LED💡 lights just above you , would not get Off .This creates a frustration . As per observation, Many of pax. put a handkerchief or Towel om their face to get rid of this bright Lights. Many People will keep the luggage in the AISLE (walking area) , due to which it takes a lot of time to reach the toilet. ..many WL pax. board the train, and sleep on the walking passage .. Some WL pax. would be Present near door , such pax. block the door ..
〰️ WHAT Can Be Done, 〰️
🔹avoid e2e journey in Garibrath CC, by paying little more 💸amount go in 3AC .
🔸If tkt not available in 3AC ,than try Tatkal or PT or simply Move on to BCT /AK RAJDHANI if want to complete the journey in short duration or
🔹try to book in other superfast train ..

bhai what more do you want??...do you want RO water, coffee machine, food ample space , AC, Bedsheets and other facilities in 1000 INR ?? There is a price for everything. It is meant for realtively poor people to have somewhat better experience at a slightly more price than sleeper fare. The amount of facilities in GR are more than sufficient with the current pricing. If you do not like it then use Rajdhani /Duronto...pay more if you need more.

Giving AC is at cheaper rates is definitely a goodwill gesture towards those who can not afford higher classes. But does it empower govt to 'exploit' the comforts?
In India there is is proverb that "When cow becomes toothless, they are donated'
Here govt would have at least provided comfortable sitting. and Garibs are not asking for all those luxuries you have enumerated.

Govt has been failing to create better trains due to population explosion and are forced to exploit existing trains converting the 'aisle' into SLB SUB. What more exploitative Govt will be there than this.
For VIPs travels they have all comforts and for poor 'discomforts' in the name of Goodwill gesture?
Just look at Karnataka Coalition Govt, already showing cracks . Why ? Just because multiparty rule allowed... and no meaningful development can take place.
Look at roads, and drains and bridges in many parts of so-called "Metros' where crores are wasted but when rains come innocent ones die due to open manholes and pits
Such criminal negligence? who will answer?
If one talks more they admonish, 'Thank God, you have such and such facilities....Do not ask more' but same rulers and administrators are collecting millions from the poor.

In business, there is system called 'Cost Accounting'
The Factor of return and profit is important in business to survive.
Not when it comes to 'returns' govt acts like businessman.

running coach is costing 100000 then they put 48 berths in 2AC and retain the sleeper class berth design in 3AC so that the recovery of cost is equal if not more.

Now if same is to be extended to 'Poor' then how will they do?
By squeezing the space such that recover, return is same if not more.

And here the 'discomforts' arise.
One RM had even thought of SMB as Ninth berth in 3AC. But seeing the anger of travelers and plausible legal battle, which was definitely going against the natural law of equality, was dropped in initial stages and gradually withdrawn.

Railway is not playing with anyone's comforts. When there is a increase in fare, everyone shouts on govt as if they did a blunder. What everyone wants is the fare between Mumbai Delhi should be 1000 rs and they should get the feeling of bullet train. That is impossible.
You pointed out all the shortcomings of Govt. They are 200% true. But have you ever thought about how many people in India really make a contribution towards its growth by paying taxes. Crores are wasted in corruption but the same crores are also hidden by general public. That is also corruption.

real sufferers (poors) are not the people who travel in GR from Mumbai to Delhi. They can very well afford the luxury of a Duronto or Rajdhani. Real sufferers are those who travel in general classes for 30-40 hrs and they are the people who suffer and they cant even afford the GR fare. Even if it was 500 RS , they cant afford it.
