A few days ago I was heavily criticised by one RF whom I have blocked now for saying why does Mumbai Goa need a VB when we already have two dedicated premium trains ie. Tejas and JNS instead heavily crowded trains like Vasco Patna weekly should be given frequency increase instead of focussing only on the rich tourists who come to Goa for vacations. I was criticised for my point saying I'm a Goan and have personally seen the rush of poor and middle class UP and Bihar migrants in Vasco Patna SF. I even said if Mumbai Goa VB is added then Tejas should be cancelled but no he said why should only Goans decide what trains they want and not Mumbai. Unfortunately these RFs are also so blinded in love for VB they forget that transportation for these migrants is much more important than for the tourists. And if...
more... argument is on profitability then these days migrants to Goa also stretch their budget to 2AC for a comfortable journey. Even if Vasco Patna is rake standardized after LHB it will still run full both 2AC and 3AC so no argument there also.
please wait...Translate to EnglishA few days back, this dude was hating on me for questioning the need for another fancy train from Mumbai to Goa (VB), when we already have two premium trains like Tejas and JNS. I was like, bro, instead of focusing on tourists, we should increase the frequency of crowded trains like Vasco Patna weekly, which are important for poor and middle-class migrants from UP and Bihar. I even mentioned that I'm a Goan and have personally seen the rush of these migrants in Vasco Patna SF. I even suggested that if they want to add Mumbai Goa VB, they should cancel Tejas. But this dude had the audacity to say that Goans shouldn't be the only ones deciding what trains they want. It's crazy how these people are so obsessed with VB that they forget about the transportation needs of these migrants. And don't even start with the profitability argument, 'cause even these migrants are willing to spend more for a comfortable journey. Even if Vasco Patna is upgraded to LHB, it'll still be full in both 2AC and 3AC, so there's no argument there.
