To reduce empty AC coaches, IR need to
-
convert less patronised ac express trains to SF trains by adding SL coaches
.
Stop charging flexi , Suvidha, special and tatkal which ac fares...
more... which is main reason for large number of ac berths going vacant. IR must understand that it cannot indefinitely profiteer from ac class paxs on large scale, else the ACI,ACII,EC shall switch to airlines and ACIII,ACC,ACII,SL shall switch over to buses.
.
Rationalising poorly patronised services with less number of coaches on the same route into fewer services with full length rakes so that the existing traffic is taken care of.
