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.

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.

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.

Useful
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.
