ಆಳುವವರಿಗೆ ಬೇಡವೇ ಬಡವರ ಬೋಗಿ?: ಶ್ರೀಸಾಮಾನ್ಯರ ಹೊರಗಿಡುವ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಆದ್ಯತೆIn Bengaluru, there's growing concern about the shrinking number of general coaches on trains, despite the addition of new coaches and trains.

While praised for its modern amenities, its high fares make it inaccessible to most. Additionally, the current schedule only covers daytime travel to select destinations. The reduction in general coaches across other express trains, coupled with the lack of additional coaches for the less privileged, has led to overcrowding and safety concerns. The situation is further compounded by the lack of action from railway authorities and elected officials. Passengers voice their concerns about the inadequate space, the struggle to board trains, and the lack of basic amenities. This leads to frequent disputes and safety hazards, especially during peak hours and when competitive exams are scheduled. Calls for increased general coaches, better security measures like scanning systems at AC coaches, and QR code-based entry are being raised.

Iss train ka schedule bhi sirf daytime travel ke liye hai.

Passenger complain karte hain ki unhein space nahin milta, trains mein charhne mein dikkat hoti hai, aur basic amenities bhi nahin hain. Isse baar-baar fights aur safety issues hote hain, khaskar peak hours mein aur jab competitive exams hote hain. Logon ki demand hai ki general bogiyon ki sankhya badhayi jaaye, AC coaches mein scanning system lagaye jaayen, aur QR code-based entry system ho. Authority keh rahe hain ki special trains chalate hain crowded train ki problem solve karne ke liye, lekin passengers ko dar hai ki aage chal kar sasta travel ka option khatam ho jaayega aur unhein crowded buson par nirbhar hona padega.
