Total number of vacant seats for 10216 Ernakulam Madgaon Superfast Express at Mangaluru Junction final charting.
Sleeper: 267
3A: 375
2A: 91
1A: 4
...
more...

Total: 737

This is including the seats booked from Mangalore and Udupi, so excluding them, the number will be around 900!

Does it make sense in demanding for the extension of Mangaluru Madgaon Vande Bharat to Calicut when a dedicated train for this region is running with such low occupancy?

Extention also will not save the train even to Hubli or Belgavi the occupancy will not improve above a certain point and even with 80% occupancy. When the sector is attracting 20-30% its very difficult to attain the remaining 70% with extention.

That doesn't make any sense. KSRTC runs about 50 daily buses on the Mangaluru Hubli sector. On the Mangalore-Goa sector? Just ONE. Now granted most of these buses are ordinary ones but the traveler demographics are totally different between these cities.

Plus nobody is asking for its extension to Belagavi or Hubballi as of now. We want it to run to Mumbai; a fair ask considering the fact that the Konkan Railway project was hastily spearheaded by a Mangalorean to connect Mangalore and Mumbai, isn't it?

This should be cancelled immediately and the rake should be used elsewhere
