The Railways started AC-3 Economy Class almost two years ago, in September 2021. Railway Board officials say that currently, around 450 coaches are of AC 3 economy class. The number of general AC 3 coaches is more than 11,000.
The facility of the economy AC coach is slightly better than the normal one. AC three economy coaches have been installed in selected trains only. It was told that when the coaches are changed in the Garib Rath trains, these coaches will also be fitted in them.
Ever since the Vande Bharat Express train was started, the coaches of both were merged. It has now been decided to separate them again.
