Travel Tips: - Why do you have to pay an AC charge even in cold winter? know the reason

Hey sir, it is getting so foggy that almost every train is late. The way Indian trains get late during winter, you should always keep a buffer time of one day for your travel plans. Even if you travel in AC or in general, winter travel is very pleasant, but have you ever tried to think why IRCTC people charge extra AC charges even while sleeping with blankets in cold winter?

While travelling, we do not use AC in winter. We do not face any problems due to the closing of windows etc. in the AC coach of the train, but then why do we have to pay extra money in winter?

Come on, it is understandable in summer because travelling in AC makes it very convenient in summer, but I have not understood the winter system. So let's talk about it today, why an extra AC surcharge is taken even in winter?

After all, why extra surcharge has to be paid for AC coaches?

We all know what the work of AC is in summer. If the AC is not used in summer, due to the closed windows, there will be a situation like suffocation inside the coach, which will not be good. But if we talk about winter then there is no need for AC. In summer, the temperature of the AC coach is 22-26 degree Celsius, but you might not know that it happens in winter as well. The logic is used for AC in summer; the same logic is used in winter also.

If AC is not turned on in winter and airflow is not made separately in the coach, then people may face suffocation due to the non-opening of windows. When the passengers present in the train coach will inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, very soon the coach will become like a gas chamber. So if the AC is turned off in winter, the condition of the passengers can be very bad.

AC coach protects from cold in winter

AC coach not only saves from the heat in summer but also saves from the cold in winter. Its windows do not allow the cold outside air to enter and thus passengers find it difficult to travel. Even if the outside temperature in winter is 4-5 degrees, the temperature inside the coach will be only 20-22 degrees. This is the reason why travelling in AC is very comfortable even in winter. This is the reason that in any season, be it winter or summer, the AC coach fare does not reduce at all.
