The M1 compartment on Indian Railways is an AC III tier economy coach designed to offer budget-friendly comfort to travelers. Each M1 coach contains 83 berths, arranged in three-tier configurations with lower, middle, and upper berths, plus two side berths (one lower and one upper). This layout closely resembles that of the regular AC III tier coach in terms of overall design and amenities.
One key advantage of the AC III tier economy coach is its affordability; tickets for this class are about 8% cheaper than the standard AC III tier fare between two stops. The primary distinctions between the economy and regular versions lie in minor differences in dimensions, seat markings, and the total number of berths available, making it a popular option for passengers seeking both comfort and savings on their journey.
