In order to improve the travel experience, Indian Railways has announced an upgrade for RAC passengers that will include full berths and extra amenities in AC coaches.
Instead of sharing a berth with another passenger, RAC passengers in AC coaches will now have a full berth.
Indian Railways Announced Upgrade For RAC Passengers
A bedroll kit with two bedsheets, a blanket, a pillow, and a towel is one of the extra amenities available to RAC passengers.
This modification, which takes effect right away, attempts to enhance RAC passengers’ overall travel experience as well as their comfort and privacy.
When all confirmed tickets are booked, passengers can still board trains under the Reservation Against Cancellation (RAC) system, which also gives them the chance to get a full berth in the event that any confirmed tickets are canceled.
RAC passengers share the berth with another RAC traveler if there are no cancellations.
In contrast to the shared berths that were previously available, RAC passengers will now have full berths, bedroll kits, and improved travel comfort in AC coaches.
With improved PNR status tracking and SMS/email alerts for RAC status updates, ticket allocation transparency has increased.
Senior Citizens and Women Travelling Alone Or With Child To Have Priority
Senior citizens and women traveling alone or with children now have priority seat allocation, which gives them a higher chance of getting full berths.
With real-time RAC seat availability displayed on the IRCTC website and mobile app, digital services for RAC passengers have been improved.
Since the new system allows more passengers to travel comfortably, especially when trains are full, it is anticipated that passenger satisfaction will increase.
Additionally, the move aims to promote train travel over other modes of transportation, particularly for long-distance trips.
Indian Railways’ continuous modernization initiatives to resolve grievances and enhance the traveler experience include higher-quality services.
To determine the RAC status: Use the PNR status check to verify the final allotment prior to boarding, book your ticket, and monitor updates on the IRCTC website or mobile apps.
