After conversion of normal passenger with 3 phaser memu coaches, the number of passengers has been decreased. There is a decrease in the number of passengers using these services after three weeks of introduction of memu in this route. The main reasons for this decrease rate is the reduced number of coaches from 11 to 8 (memu) and the less number of seats. People are not preferring to travel standing. As the new menu rakes are optimised for more standing travel, people not taking the new option. Passengers are now more often preferring buses to these new coaches. Don't know what SR will do for this issues.....
