To travel in reserved coaches, booking has to be done in advance and these include options like First AC, Second AC, Third AC, AC Chair Car, Sleeper and Second Sitting. On the other hand, unreserved coaches include General Coach.

Railways will make these changes in the rules of general ticket

To travel in general coach, you do not need to buy the ticket much in advance. You can travel in the train by directly going to the railway station and buying a general ticket. Every day a large number of passengers travel in general coaches. But now the railway is thinking of changing the rules of general ticket, which will affect crores of passengers. Let us know what changes the railway is going to make in the general ticket and what effect it will have on the passengers.

Recently, there was a stampede like situation at New Delhi Railway Station due to the huge crowd of passengers. Many people lost their lives in this accident caused by the chaos at the station. After this tragic accident, the railway administration is planning to bring new rules to make the general ticket system more streamlined.

Names of trains can also be entered in general tickets

Let us tell you that at present, passengers with general tickets can easily change trains. However, under the upcoming changes, names of trains can also be entered in general tickets. This means that once the name of the train is entered on the ticket, passengers will not be able to change the train.

Validity of general ticket

Do you know that the general ticket issued by the railways comes with a validity period. According to the rules of the railways, the validity of a general ticket is only three hours. That is, if you do not start your journey within three hours after buying a general ticket, then that ticket becomes invalid i.e. non-valid. Which means that after three hours have passed, travel cannot be done on that ticket.

The aim of the Railways behind introducing these changes in the rules of general tickets is to ensure the safety of passengers and make the journey more comfortable. However, the official announcement of the new rules can be made soon by the Railway Ministry.

The train has facilities of First AC, Second AC, Third AC, Sleeper and General coach according to different classes. But this question must have come to your mind at some time or the other that if the air conditioner of the AC coach of the train remains switched off in winter, then why does the Railways charge the passengers for AC? Let us tell.

Actually, the AC coach of the train is kept cool during the summer season and warm during the winter. During summer the outside temperature is around 45 degrees Celsius. During this period the temperature inside the AC coach is kept between 20-25 degrees Celsius. Similarly, during winter days the outside temperature remains around 4-8 degrees Celsius. At this time the temperature inside the AC coach is kept at 17-21 degrees Celsius.

AC coach fare is expensive

You must be aware that the fare of AC coach in the train is costlier than sleeper and general coach. The reason for this is the AC and other facilities installed in the coach. Let us tell you that the AC coaches of the train are air conditioned. Train coaches are not air cooled. This means that the AC of the train keeps the entire coach cool in summer and warm in winter.

Actually, to maintain the temperature during cold weather, the heater installed in the AC is turned on. Also, by running the blower, hot air is supplied to the entire box. It is known that the heater of the AC coach of the train is of a special type. This is the reason why passengers do not complain of dry skin even after staying in the heater all night.

You must have noticed that the room heaters installed in our homes cause dry skin. In this way, it is now completely clear that the AC installed in trains is working even in winters. This is the reason why the Railways charges the full fare from the passengers.
