After a month, Mangaluru-Madgaon Vande Bharat Express runs with less than 50% occupancy

The Mangaluru Central-Madgaon Vande Bharat Express, launched on December 30, has recorded low occupancy rates during its first month of operation, with only 37% occupancy on the Mangaluru-Madgaon route and 43% on the return journey. In contrast, the Mumbai CSMT-Madgaon Vande Bharat Express has seen much higher occupancy rates, with 93%...

and 99% on the onward and return journeys respectively. Passenger associations have advocated for extending the Mangaluru-Madgaon Vande Bharat Express to Mumbai to improve its occupancy, suggesting amalgamation with the Mumbai CSMT-Madgaon VB Express and an increase in coaches from eight to sixteen. They argue that connecting the train to a major commercial center or state capital would increase ridership. Supporters of the extension highlight the convenience of a daytime train between Mangaluru and Mumbai and the opportunity to offer a better alternative to long-distance bus travel.

December 30 ko launch hue Mangaluru Central-Madgaon Vande Bharat Express ka pehla month kam occupancy rate ke saath guzara hai. Mangaluru se Madgaon jaane waale train mein sirf 37% occupancy thi aur Madgaon se Mangaluru waapis aane waale train mein 43%. Iske ulat Mumbai CSMT-Madgaon Vande Bharat Express mein 93% aur...

99% occupancy dekhne ko mili hai. Passenger associations ne Mangaluru-Madgaon Vande Bharat Express ko Mumbai tak extend karne ki baat ki hai. Unhone Mumbai CSMT-Madgaon VB Express ko Mangaluru Central-Madgaon VB Express se milaane aur coaches ki number 8 se badhakar 16 karne ka sujhav diya hai. Unka kehna hai ki train ko kisi bada commercial centre ya state capital se connect karne se iske passengers badh jaayenge. Extension ke supporters ne Mangaluru aur Mumbai ke beech day-time train hone ka convenience aur long-distance bus travel ka better alternative dene ka opportunity ki baat ki hai.

These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
