Sometimes SL is better than 3A. I've had a lot of problems in 3A recently. Passengers get upset when we ask them to put their luggage away properly and other stuff. Now, about 3A and 3E. We compared the prices and talked to lots of people. If you take a closer look, the fare difference isn't much and they could have easily given us bedrolls. The people who designed these coaches (LWACCNE) didn't make any space for storing the linen. When they introduced 3E during the pandemic, they stopped providing bedroll services. Now, when the railway officials looked into the passengers' complaints and demands, they decided to provide linen in 3E. They began blocking berth numbers 81/82/83 for storing the linen and then they came up with the plan to merge 3E with 3A. Now they don't call it AC 3 Economy. They say it's High Capacity AC 3 Tier. 😀

sleeper ya 3AC mein bahut farak hai bhai....fare ke mamle mein almost double difference hai 3AC ka....ek aadmi ke liye koi maamla nahi hai parivar ke saath safar karte waqt toh budget ka tension hota hai bhai....

Population factor... Too damn high.
