Premium trains lille Vande bharat are making the news for the speed and technology they are implementing. However, these premium services come with a premium cost as well. This makes such services practically out of the reach for the majority of Indians.
Vande Bharat Express trains on these new routes are aimed at tackling exactly this situation. It provides passengers affordable long train journeys with better amenities.
