PM Narendra Modi has visited Bangalore today for the launch of numerous infrastructure and other projects. The semi-high-speed train from Mysuru to Chennai through Bengaluru, the Vande Bharat Express, is one of them. It is a first for South India. Currently the fifth in the nation, the train has been signalled off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi today.
The indigenous train has gained popularity along the routes it has been operating on, thanks to a variety of advantages over other Shatabdi and Express trains, including its high speed, comfort, and features.
