The Garib Rath concept was a big success, no GR trains ran empty unlike HS trains these days.
To improve the ratio, IR should stop allocating useless HS trains to places where they are not feasible for pleasing the public to get votes. Instead a normal m/e or sf lhb train can be a very good option for same work.

* NonAC general cost about 60% of non-AC sleeper. Then ac general too should cost 60% of AC3 i.e. about 1.5-1.6 times that of sleeper fares or about 2.5 times the current non-AC general class fares.

Mumbai local ac fare from churchgate to Virar (60kms) is Rs 20 in Non Ac general class and Rs. 220 in AC general class. If IR keep AC general fares a good 11 times the non-ac fares in suburban trains, then it would be very interesting to see what shall be fare for AC general coaches in outstation trains.
