Vistadome Coach : रेलवे के लिए गले की फांस बन गया इस रूट का विस्टाडोम कोच, घाटे में चल रहा विभाग ले सकता है बड़ा फैसला

The Vistadome coach, introduced on the Jabalpur-Bhopal Janshatabdi Express a year ago to enhance tourism with scenic views, has turned into a financial burden for Indian Railways. Despite its unique features like panoramic glass windows and rotating seats, the coach has attracted only 12% of passengers, resulting in a loss of...

Rs 2 crore for the railways. The high fare, inaccessible location for elderly passengers, lack of food service, and the fact that passengers often prefer to explore the coach briefly and then return to their seats have contributed to its unpopularity. The railways are now considering removing the coach from the Janshatabdi Express and transferring it to another tourist destination to mitigate the losses.

Jabalpur se Bhopal wali Janshatabdi Express mein laga Vistadome coach, jo ki scenic views dekhne ke liye laga tha, ab railways ke liye ek financial burden ban gaya hai. Is coach mein panoramic glass windows aur rotating seats hai, lekin sirf 12% passengers hi isme travel kiye hain, jisse railways...

ko Rs 2 crore ka loss hua hai. High fare, elderly passengers ke liye access difficult, food service ka na hona, aur passengers ka coach mein thodi der ghumne ke baad apni seats pe lautna, yeh sab iski popularity kam hone ke wajah hain. Railways ab soch rahi hai ki is coach ko Janshatabdi Express se hata kar kisi aur tourist destination mein laga diya jaaye, taaki loss kam ho sake.

Agree with the report. Passenger can prefer it for 1-2 times but not regularly. Also in similar fare structure a VB is also plying on same section with Catering as well so passengers who can afford that much price are preferring VB over Vistadome of JS.
I've seen it today hardly 4-5 person were there in the coach.
It should've been removed from the JS and can be used on a section where Vistadome passengers are more.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
