You are saying from your understanding. First thing, those travelling in GS are real Poor's, not SL. this is true specially for long distance trains. Those travelling in SL were same who were paying 10k, 20k around 2 yrs ago and GS travellers were on foot. I am not against SL. But truth is fare can't be increased, so SL is reduced. You will also agree that SL fares are unsustainable. Sarkari naukari aur sasta Safar dono chahiye logo ko, ye to nhi ho skta.
It's your misunderstanding that roadside chat ka thela wala don't travel in AC3.
