18 सितंबर से चलेगी वंदे भारत, बुकिंग सुस्त, 95 प्रतिशत सीट खाली

The first Vande Bharat Express, running via Dhanbad, is set to begin operations on September 18th, operating six days a week, excluding Thursday. Despite initial enthusiasm, booking figures are underwhelming. The Hावड़ा-गया-Hावड़ा Vande Bharat Express has seen weak bookings since its booking window opened, with over 97% of seats remaining vacant...

on most days. In fact, some days haven't seen a single ticket sold from Dhanbad in either Chair Car or Executive Class. While a few tickets are being sold for Dhanbad-Hावड़ा journeys, the number of passengers traveling between Dhanbad-Gaya or Hावड़ा-Gaya is very low. Even during peak seasons like Navratri and Durga Puja, the train is struggling to attract passengers traveling to Hावड़ा. With Pitru Paksha starting on September 17th, there are no bookings from either Dhanbad or Hावड़ा for journeys to Gaya. The high fare is cited as the main reason behind the low booking figures. While many are interested in traveling on the Vande Bharat Express, the high cost discourages them from booking. The train has appeal for those catching late-night flights from Kolkata, or Jain pilgrims visiting Parasnath. However, it has not become a viable option for daily commuters or those seeking a one-day trip to Kolkata. Experts suggest extending the route to Varanasi or Ayodhya to boost the popularity of the Hावड़ा-Gaya Vande Bharat Express. This extension could potentially increase bookings not just from Hावड़ा but also from Dhanbad.

Dhanbad se hoke chalne wali pehli Vande Bharat Express 18 September se chalu ho rahi hai, hafte mein 6 din, Thursday ko chhodkar. Logon mein bahut josh tha, par booking waala scene bilkul dull hai. Hावड़ा-गया-Hावड़ा Vande Bharat Express ki booking khuli hue 3 din ho gaye, par bahut kam booking...

hui hai. 18 September ko chhodkar, har din 97% se zyada seats khali hain. Booking ki haalat itni buri hai ki kai din to Dhanbad se Chair Car ya Executive Class mein ek bhi ticket nahi bikri. Dhanbad se Hावड़ा jaane ke liye ek-do tickets mil rahe hain, par Dhanbad se Gaya ya Hावड़ा se Gaya jaane walon ki sankhya bahut kam hai. Aur to aur, Navratri aur Durga Puja jaise busy time mein bhi Hावड़ा jaane ke liye train ko passengers nahi mil rahe. 17 September se Pitru Paksha bhi shuru ho raha hai, aur Gaya ke liye Dhanbad se ya Hावड़ा se koi bhi Vande Bharat mein booking nahi kar raha. Bhari-bharakam fare hi iss problem ki main wajah hai. Sabhi log Vande Bharat mein travel karna chahte hain, par fare zyada hone ki wajah se log booking nahi karwa rahe hain. Kolkata se late-night flights pakadne walon ko ye train pasand aa rahi hai, aur Parasnath jaane wale Jain pilgrims ke liye bhi yeh ek acha option hai. Par Kolkata mein daily commute ya one-day trip ke liye yeh train suitable nahi ban pa rahi. Experts ka kehna hai ki Hावड़ा-Gaya Vande Bharat Express ko Varanasi ya Ayodhya tak extend karna chahiye, taaki iski popularity badh sake. Aisa hone se Hावड़ा se hi nahi, Dhanbad se bhi booking mein tezi aayegi.
