Garib Rath -Poor Man's chariot.
An unconventional name and train which has attracted all sections of people.
Introduced by then RM Laloo, I feel that this one good job he had done in his regime.
Started in way back 2005, this GR is finding trouble to find its own spance and a tougher fight between the latest durunto.
Although,
...
more...
its called as Poor Man's Chariot, the pricing is above the SL class and lesser than the general 3rd AC.
Personally, the SL people still find their own difficulty to reach the price of GR but the price cannot be lessened than the present.
Despite having all positive reports regaring all factors, why wasnt any GR has taken birth in the recent times?
Garib Rath is turning out be like a girl child nowadays. Due to political changes and mileage which needs to accquired by every RM,
the birth of Durunto's had shattered the GR existence out and completely.
There were several duruntos which were runaway hit and the frequency had been increased too.
Hope, new GR's would take place at least from now such that it helps the true 'Poor Man' else just the way chariot's have become extinct or displayed at Muesuem's, this GR would follow the same suite.
Thank you for the reading.

GR 3rd AC - Is just AC ... you cannot expect anything more
SF 3rd AC is good .. pretty luxury
Durunto - LHB AC ..More space and more comfort.
It all depends on pricing ( VFM - Value for Money)
