It's fake news.

Yeah, it’s confirmed now, it’s fake news. Eastern Railway tweeted it.

A bunch of Vande Bharat trains are losing cash. Railways gonna cut some services instead of launching new ones. Just chill till the elections wrap up.

Bahut saari Vande Bharat trains nuksan mein chal rahi hain. Railways kuch services ko band kar dengi naye shuru karne ki jagah. Election khatam hone tak intezaar karo.

If the ticket's this pricey, it's gonna be a loss for sure.

Bro, check it. 16 coach VB rake costs 110cr but 22 coach LHB rake with WAP 7 is only 70cr. VB ACC costs 1.5x the regular ACC but it's cool. They gotta lower the cost of VB I ACC for 100-200km trips, otherwise it's pricier than Volvo buses for 200-500km trips. And damn, that catering cost is making it seem more expensive. On top of that, out of 51, 10 got less than 50% occupancy and 10 more have good occupancy but the seats are only filled halfway. Also, like 12 rakes of 8 coaches are just chillin' idle, prob trying to hit that 75 VB target.

16 coach VB rake ka kharch 110cr hai jabki 22 coach LHB rake with WAP 7 ka kharch 70cr hai. VB ACC ka cost normal ACC se 1.5x zyada hai aur thik se keemat hai. VB I ACC ka cost 100-200km range ke liye kam kiya jana chahiye, uske baad se fares Volvo sitting buses ke corresponding ho jate hain distances 200-500km ke liye. Fares mehenge lag rahe hain kyunki catering fare shamil hai.

51 chal rahe mein se 10 mein low occupancy hai 50% se kam. Dusre 10 mein occupancy 70-100% hai lekin realisation per seat kam hai kyunki seats half distance ke liye occupied hain. Kam se kam 12 rakes 8 coach ke hain jo idle hain aur lag raha hai ki ve 75 VB ke target ko pura karna chahte hain.
