According to a report by The Economic Times, Indian Railways has introduced the first AC version of its popular Amrit Bharat Express train. This new train, known as Amrit Bharat Express 3.0, has been run between New Delhi and Patna. This train has been started specifically keeping in mind the increasing rush of passengers during Chhath Puja, so that passengers can get better and more comfortable facilities.
This special train started its first journey on 11 November. Previously, Amrit Bharat trains mainly had non-AC coaches, but now AC facilities have been added to them. A total of 22 coaches have been arranged in this train, which includes First AC, Second AC, Third AC, Sleeper, and General coaches. Due to this variety, passengers of all classes will be able to travel according to their needs.
Many modern technologies have been used in Amrit Bharat Express 3.0 for the convenience of passengers. This train is equipped with push-pull technology, which makes it faster and more efficient. Apart from this, the suspension system in the train has also been improved so that passengers get more comfort during the journey. Facilities inside the train include modern toilets and mobile charging points near every seat, which are very necessary for passengers in today's time.
This step has been taken by the railway administration to meet the demand of passengers. There is a huge increase in the number of passengers going towards Bihar during Chhath Puja, keeping this in mind, this new train will prove to be an important relief. The Railways is confident that this service between New Delhi and Patna will provide passengers with a safer and more convenient travel experience.
Amrit Bharat Express is an ambitious project of Indian Railways, which aims to provide modern and affordable travel to common passengers. These trains are especially operational on medium and long-distance routes. Modern aerodynamic design and systems like Kavach for safety were used in previous Amrit Bharat trains. The main purpose of these trains has been to replace old Intercity and passenger trains to provide better speed and facilities to passengers. With this new AC facility, Indian Railways has tried to make its services more comprehensive.
