The RailSetu Comfort Score

One number.
Every trade-off explained.

Every eligible journey begins at 100. RailSetu then applies transparent bonuses and penalties for the work that journey asks of the selected traveller.

Reading the result

An algorithmic ranking, not a gimmick.

Hard preferences—such as “No coach changes”—filter journeys out before scoring. The score ranks only the confirmed paths that remain.
