The normal ICF coach has around 90 seats, this memu coach has only around 70 seats. Also the ICF conventional rake had around 11 coaches, but this memu has only 8 coaches ( including 2 coaches with engines). Around reduction of 400 seats. How will this help to increase the passengers? By standing?
Memu will increase standing capacity in other words carrying capacity faster acceleration and deceleration.
Loco-hauled ICF rake takes too much time on shorter sections like this. There is scope for speeding up, additional halts and later additional coaches when patronage goes up.
