Editing Travel class (section)

=== India ===
The [[Indian Railways]] offers six classes of train accommodation in general.

* First Class A/C (1A) is the highest rail travel class and is not available on all trains. It offers air-conditioned cubicles in two-bed and four-bed formats with closing doors. There usually is only one 1A bogie (carriage) on a train.
* Two Tier A/C (2A) offers air conditioned cubicles in four-bed + two-bed format, but the privacy is provided by curtains instead of the doors found in 1A. There are typically one or two 2A bogies on long-distance trains.
* Three Tier A/C (3A) offers air conditioned cubicles in six-bed + two-bed format (six beds on one side and two beds on other side of the hallway). Most trains have two to five 3A bogies.
* A/C Chair Car (CC) is a feature of short-distance trains that cover the journey within a day. The seating is usually in 3x3 format.
* Sleeper Class (SL) is configured similarly to 3A but is not air conditioned. There are typically ten to fifteen SL bogies in a train.
* Second Class (Reserved) (2S) similar as CC, without the air-conditioning. These may be reserved in advance or may be unreserved.
* Second Class (II) for long-distance trains is similar to the SL cars but has wooden middle berths instead of upper berths.  However, local and suburban trains may offer a different variety of second class, which has an open cabin with rows of wooden seats facing each other in pairs.

Some trains also have one of these classes:

* Third AC Economy (3E). Similar to Three Tier A/C, however this class have an additional middle berth in the side section of the  air conditioned cubicle, making it a six-bed and three-bed format. This type of accommodation is created for less well off people, who desire a comfortable travel at lesser fare.
* First Class (FC), which is similar in configuration to the 1A class but lacks air conditioning. The class is currently being phased out in favor of the slightly expensive 2A and cheaper 3A classes.  In 2011, it could be found only on Mumbai local train and a few trains across all of India.
* Executive AC Chair Car (EC), has a 2x2 seat configuration and includes food catering service.  It is available only on the "Shatabdi Express" and "Tejas Express" trains, which link major cities located within a day-trip distance.
