The entertainment car provides a space where passengers can sing and dance, while also selling local specialties from surrounding places to help with poverty alleviation efforts. The restaurant car, besides serving local signature food, could be used as a meeting room if needed. The train has several compartments, each covering between 3.38 and 9.5 square meters, for passengers’ enjoyment.
