Take the 2-minute tour ×  What class should a lone woman travel
on a sleeper train to be safe at night?  share|improve this
question It's subjective but definitely a good question. Is
there any way to make it more specific? –  hippietrail Jun 28

down vote accepted  Non-airconditioned classes tend to have less
strict ticket checks starting with the lowest class and
gradually increasing till the highest class. Unreserved coaches
are usually jam-packed with no place to sleep; you often have to
travel standing even at night and not advised. Three-tier non-AC
(three bunk beds in one 'column') and second class / two-tier
non-AC (also called sleeper class; two bunk beds in one
'column') is the most common class of travel and it is safe for
women if travelling in a group. Air-conditioned classes tend to
have stricter staff supervision, t
