Yes agree. Just merely starting a route will not ensure occupancy. Whether people can afford, alternate lower options at similar journey time all play a part. Some recent examples are th 8 car coach for CBE-MAS sector even though it is a high passenger traffic route. They have opted for 8 cars to check feasibility first. Similarly it is quite a surprise that MAS-MYS still has got relatively low occupancy except on weekends....that is what the data says. In case of Kerala, If there is a significant diff in travel time between Jan Shatabdi and VB then probably people might prefer. In any case next 2 months being summer vacations and initial enthusiasm to explore might see people opting for it....after which will be monsoon and seasonal lull where actual occupancy can be gauged.
