But have you noticed that all the coaches have 4 doors, but the general coach has a total of 6 doors. Today we will tell you the reason behind this.
Train Coaches
Every day lakhs of people travel in India through Indian Railways. But when any passenger has to travel in First AC, Second AC, Third AC, Sleeper class, then the passenger first makes ticket reservation. Because in these classes, seats are not available without ticket reservation. But for traveling in general coach, only ticket is required, there is no reservation here. In simple language, understand that first come first serve formula works to get a seat in general coach. Because in this no person makes seat reservation.

Now there are many such trains running in the country in which all the coaches are AC. No person can travel in these trains without reservation. But ordinary express and passenger trains have general coaches. You must have noticed that First AC, Second AC, Third AC, Sleeper coaches have two doors on one side and two on the other side. However, passengers always use the door from the side of the platform. But general coaches have three doors on one side.
General Coach
There is no reservation in the general coach. You must have noticed that it has three gates. The reason behind this is that seats are reserved in sleeper and AC coaches. The number of passengers in these is fixed. Therefore, two gates are provided for boarding and deboarding. But the general coach is completely unreserved. The number of passengers in it is not fixed. Therefore, for the convenience of passengers, three gates are provided in it. This design has been made for the convenience of passengers. Because many times you must have seen that there is a lot of crowd in unreserved coaches, in such a situation when there are three coaches, it becomes easier for the passengers to deboard.
