These trains give passengers a quick, safe, and comfy travel experience.
So far, over 75 million people have taken a ride on these advanced Vande Bharat trains. Built as part of the Make in India initiative, Vande Bharat trains come with cool features like automatic doors, rotating seats, bio-vacuum toilets, a GPS-based passenger info system, and CCTV cameras, ensuring top-notch comfort for passengers.
Vande Bharat trains are proving to be a boon for travelers and tourists. These trains connect the country’s religious, cultural, and economic centers. Currently, Vande Bharat services have reached 274 districts, improving travel, tourism, and regional connectivity.
