The Garib Rath AC Chair Car coaches could actually be better utilized in Intercity trains to replace some of the 2S coaches.

The current 3+3 individual seating configuration in the Garib Rath Chair car is very cramped and neither gets the reclining option as regular EC/CC.

individual bucket seats could be done away and seating could be designed as per the Old ICF 2S bench seat type (some of the LHB 2S coaches have it) where it's easier to slide in luggage underneath.

Similar to the 3E coach, fares can be constituted in between CC and 2S and far more passengers would be able to travel in air-conditioned class this way.

The ACC coaches of GR are 16+ years old so there is no point in modifying them and using them again for 3 years which is waste of expenditure. Run as 3×3 ACC in intercity or scrap them.

If the seats could be redone somewhat, it might just find a niche for itself between CC and 2S coaches.

Intercity trains have a high and consistent demand for air-conditioned Chair Car coaches (It's the Premium VBs which are hit or miss) compared to 2S coaches (which get filled with last minute bookings) given our weather conditions but the difficulty with directly replacing 2S coaches with CC would be the loss of capacity.

The GR Chair Car offers the best of both worlds, but is being deployed on the wrong train.

Garib Rath के 3×3 Chair Car की Life जितनी बाकी है उतने time के लिए इन्हें Intercity Express train के coaches में use करना चाहिए।
