Why this train is categorised as Superfast ? It has very low average speed. Also train no. doesn't indicate that it is a superfast train.
Maybe because it is the fastest train on this route and ,takes less time , bypassing Mangaluru via padil bypass.
I request senior and fellow local railfans to provide a precise answer to this query.

Secret way to silently loot passengers. SWR consider it as partial Superfast between Bengaluru - Hassan (16595) & Hassan - Yesvantpur (16596). If you travel only within that section or your journey passes through that section, they will charge you superfast fares. But if you travel fully out of that section, say if you travel from Sakleshpur to Karwar or any intermediate stations towards Karwar in 16595 or travel anywhere between Karwar to Hassan (16596) you will be charged Normal Express charges. If you go atleast one station next after Hassan, say Channaraypatna , you ticket will carry Superfast charge.
This system of SF surcharge is collected in many trains Kacheguda MYS express between Bengaluru and MYS, Visakhapatnam Guntur between Vijayawada and Guntur though end to end avg speed is less then 55kmph. Its shoul be implemented to the end station or section station too. For ex KCG SBC is SF which is ok and KCG MYS or Kengeri , YNK MYS should also be non SF.
