Even with the second Vande Bharat and the widening of the roads, the problems of travellers are increasing. No matter how polished the roads are, they break down when it rains. Cars and bikes are increasing day by day and there has been a reduction in the number of people dependent on public transport. The sudden growth in the tourism sector. There are many reasons why bus and train congestion is increasing day by day.

Most of the people who get stuck on the road are regular commuters. Whether by bus or train, the pace of common travellers is slow. As the sleeper coaches have been cut down and converted into AC coaches to achieve financial gain, the regular passengers of some trains are crowded. 12 sleeper coaches reduced to seven in Bengaluru-Kanyakumari Island Express. Three AC coaches were added instead. There are six three-tier AC coaches and two two-tier AC coaches. Guruvayur-Punalur has been extended to Madurai and the second class has been changed to two sleepers and AC in Madurai Express.

When the Guruvayoor Punalur Express was extended to Madurai, the number of coaches also decreased. As three of the remaining coaches became reserved, the regular passengers travelling between Guruvayur and Ernakulam were so crowded that they could not board the coach. At this time, those who have been gone for years are facing severe travel problems.

A sleeper coach was also converted into an AC coach in the Mangalore - Thiruvananthapuram Malabar Express. Malabar Express currently has 10 sleeper coaches and 4 AC three-tier coaches. With the new change, 72 seats have shifted to AC 3-tier coaches.

Railways' new strategy is to gradually reduce the number of sleeper coaches and general coaches and increase the number of AC coaches in all trains. Services including Vande Bharat are getting great acceptance. In the meantime, the move of the railways is given the financial gain on the routes with more passengers. This decision is a dark one for those who depend on sleeper coaches to travel at reasonable fares.

Mangalore - Thiruvananthapuram Malabar Express, Chennai Mail, Mangalore - Chennai West Coast Express and Mangalore - Thiruvananthapuram Maveli Express all have reduced coaches. The decision is not the only one that directly affects ordinary train passengers. There is also a situation where reservation tickets are not available. There is also a complaint that there is an attempt to make a profit by taking Tatkal tickets.

Another complaint is that tickets are not available even after booking in advance. Organizations including the Railway Passengers Association and passengers are demanding that the decision to stop passenger trains should be withdrawn and the stops that were cut when the passengers were converted to express trains should be reinstated.
