What is "third class"?
Third class refers to a more basic and affordable category of service, typically offering fewer amenities than second class. In transportation like trains or buses, passengers in third class usually have simpler seating and less space compared to higher classes, and the level of service is more basic. This option is the most economical, making it accessible for travelers on a tight budget, but it often involves fewer comforts, such as less privacy or fewer services, especially on longer journeys.
