No sir there is no diffrence betwen the hair cars of express trains & the chair cars of the Shatabdi's . They are same . But the Chair cars of shatabdi are of new technology because shatabdi's has very ess stops compare to general express train

Then i should have booked the ticket in Pooja Express in 3A, which is almost Rs 30-60 less than shatabdi (Delhi-Jaipur) and almost Rs 100 less (Jaipur - Delhi), and one can also sleep comfortably for 3-4 hrs (during duration of journey), lol....
.
I normally book in the train with 3A / 2A, this time went for AC Chair Car Shatabdi, up and down both, Delhi-Jaipur route ...

But Plus Point in Shatabdi is that shatabdi is always on time it doesn't get late but there is chances in Poooja Express or any another trains to get late

Comfort in terms of seats is slightly less because it runs on Old Rake..........
Food Quality is Good.........
Most of the time On Time Arrival.........
Ajmer Shatabdi caters most of Business Man...........So you will
...
more...
find mannered co-passengers.....
But on a few Occasions I seen TTE taking money form Passengers and allowing Passengers upto Rewari/ Alwar.......

Delhi Jaipur non-a/c dont run anymore, its the normal roadways star-line or private buses, ,, only VOLVO runs on this route if u wana go by a/c bus, which cost about 660/passenger and more, which is more then shatabdi, and they also dont offer food, lol.
please check the Rajasthan roadways website for more information.
