It is okay for short distances but do not expect people to travel Delhi to Mumbai like this - sitting. Luggage rack at the top is insufficient for any suitcases.

Why cant Indian companies like BEML, RCF cant make these sleek coaches. If we run 150-170 with Shatabdi coaches , It is well and good. Delhi to Mumbai people can use Flight, These fast trains required to cover 150-500 KM. More than that people should use flight.
