RAC FACILITY SCRAPPED

RAC ending soon: Railways plans to scrap this train reservation facility; passengers may no longer have to share berths despite paying full fare

Indian Railways is examining the possibility of scrapping the decades-old Reservation Against Cancellation (RAC) facility, under which two passengers share a single berth despite paying the full fare, according to a TOI report. The move comes amid concerns over passenger convenience and a parliamentary panel's recommendation to review the existing arrangement.
