The Vande Bharat Express, running between Udaipur and Jaipur six days a week, will extend its route to Agra Cantt three days a week starting today. Despite the extension, the train is facing low occupancy rates on both routes. Only 41% of the train's capacity has been filled, with just 250...

out of 608 seats booked for the Udaipur-Agra route. Several factors contribute to the low occupancy, including the train's schedule, lack of sleeper class for long journeys, and the absence of major stations between Udaipur and Kota. The train departs from Udaipur at 5:45 AM and arrives in Agra Cantt at 2:30 PM, covering a distance of 612 kilometers. It has 608 seats across 7 AC chair car coaches and 1 executive class coach. The low occupancy is attributed to factors like the availability of cheaper overnight buses offering a more convenient travel time for students.

608 mein se, jo ki sirf 41% hai. Iske peeche kaaran hain jaise ki train ka schedule, lambi journey mein sleeper class ka na hona, aur Udaipur aur Kota ke beech bade stations ka na hona. Train Udaipur se subah 5:45 AM pe chalta hai aur Agra Cantt 2:30 PM pe pahunchta hai, 612 kilometer ka safar karke. Train mein 7 AC chair car coaches aur 1 executive class coach mein 608 seats hain. Kam logon ka travel karna isliye hai ki Udaipur aur Kota ke beech rat mein chalta, kam daam wala bus option aasaan hai.

The train halts at various stations including Rana Pratap Nagar, Mavli Junction, Chanderia, Kota Junction, Sawai Madhopur, Gangapur City, and Bayana Junction before reaching Agra.
