Railways to Introduce Cheaper AC3 Economy Class on Long-Distance Trains Soon

The Railways on Saturday said the fare of its new air conditioned three-tier economy class coaches will be 8% less than the existing 3AC coaches, giving the best travel experience at the cheapest price.

The air conditioned three-tier economy coaches are being seen as a gamechanger as they will offer the best AC travel at the cheapest price, the railways had claimed earlier.

The new 3AC economy class coaches will have 83 berths as against 72 in the regular 3AC coaches — an increase of 15%. The regular 3AC coaches have two side berths, which will be increased to three in the new coaches.
