Service classes

The Company made significant progress in standardising its service classes and segmentation of its carriage fleet to meet the key passenger needs such as air conditioning and toilets on board. When booking tickets passengers can easily see online infographics clearly featuring on-board services and the availability of air conditioning and/or on-board toilets. The same information is presented and printed out on paper tickets purchased offline. The passenger, therefore, has full and reliable information on services to be provided during travel.
