Sir never judge any day time sitting type intercity train by its booking status. If you want to see its patronage then you have to look the train by your very eyes.
In these trains current booking and difference fare on general ticket is the most popular way for travelling. Why i am saying this because i have travelled in this train and i have checked the Chart from TTE which only had 7 bookings in my coach (D2) but it was filled to almost 90%.
This can also be seen...
more... in both JBP Janshatabdi and JBP Intercity, they also shows huge vaccancy in IRCTC but both runs packed every day.
