Detailed Description

The project aims at enhancing the comfort level of the passengers travelling by a second-class AC chaircar coach. Most of the budget airlines offer very affordable rates, connecting most of the major cities in India, and are providing stiff competition to the Indian Railways in this regard. With the extra comfort and luxury of flying for a slightly higher price, air travel has become more feasible in a developing country like India today. Hence, the need to enrich the experience of travelling by the AC Chair Car was identified and developed by the design team.
