Vande Bharat commuters puzzled by Rs 20 mandatory charge for water bottle and newspaper

Passengers on Vande Bharat trains are confused about a mandatory catering charge of Rs 20, which covers water bottles and newspapers, even if they don't need the food. Some users on X have expressed concern about the charge, pointing out that they may not need the water bottles or newspapers, or...

that they are not consistently provided. Some also question the charge's inclusion when Vande Bharat ticket prices are already comparable to premium trains. The IRCTC, in response, suggests using their redressal forum to address these concerns. Passengers are also requesting that the catering option be made optional during ticket booking, citing wastage of newspapers. The Railways have already addressed wastage concerns with water bottles by reducing the size and providing an additional bottle on request. The demand for Vande Bharat sleeper service on the Mangaluru-Thiruvananthapuram route is growing. The Jharkhand Vande Bharat Express route, timing, and fare details are also available, as well as details on the new Namo Bharat Rapid Rail.

Vande Bharat train mein, bahut se passengers confused hain Rs 20 ke catering charge ko leke, jo ki water bottle aur newspapers ke liye hai, chahe woh khana nahin chahte hoon. X pe kuchh users ne is charge ko lekar concern raise kiya hai, yeh batate hue ki unhe shayad water...

bottles ya newspapers ki jarurat nahin hoti hai, ya fir yeh consistently provide nahin kiye jaate hain. Kuchh log yeh bhi poochte hain ki yeh charge include kyun hai jab ki Vande Bharat ticket ki rates already premium trains ke saath comparable hain. IRCTC ne jawab diya hai ki yeh matter unke redressal forum pe raise kiya ja sakta hai. Passengers yeh bhi request kar rahe hain ki catering option ko ticket booking ke time optional bana diya jaaye, is waste ki wajah se newspapers ki. Railways ne pehle hi water bottles ki wastage concerns ko address kiya hai, size ko kam karke aur request pe additional bottle provide karke. Mangaluru-Thiruvananthapuram route pe Vande Bharat sleeper service ki demand badh rahi hai. Jharkhand Vande Bharat Express ka route, timing, aur fare details bhi available hain, aur new Namo Bharat Rapid Rail ke details bhi.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
