It's a loss making service then. Even if it runs full on each side, for every Rs Railways has invested on it, it loses some paise(eg, return on investment could be 90paise per rupee). Subsided services do run but they are usually short distance trains. Shatabdis in general SHOULD be profit making trains for Railways, but I guess the data refutes that. In either case, it makes me wonder how the other Shatabdis are faring?
It means investment per seat was accounted e2e but occupancy per seat is calculated both e2e and between intermediate stations, maybe thats why occupancy is more than 100% but still train is making loss. Correct me if I am wrong.
Suppose
A train run between station A to D having intermediate halt at B & C.
If a person board from A to B, another board from B to C & seat was vacant from C to Dm Then this occupancy will be calculated as Two. And Fare% is calculated on the basis of Total seats ( doesn't matter from Seat Quota allocation ) and Total Fare from Station A to station D.
