Passengers are provided free food on premium trains like Vande Bharat Express, Gatiman Express, Rajdhani Express, Shatabdi Express, and Duronto Express. Here, free does not mean that passengers are not charged for food. Passengers travelling in these trains are charged for food when booking the ticket.
