Vande Bharat Train Service Halt on Fridays Draws Criticism
Imagine a fast train that goes between two busy cities, Hyderabad and Bengaluru.
This train was super popular, especially on the weekends.
But, the company that runs the train has decided to stop it on Fridays.
This has made a lot of people upset because they use it to travel between the cities for work or to see their families.
The reason for the change is to do maintenance on the train.
Some people think this is because bus companies want more business.
The train company says they are thinking about changing the schedule back to its original day, because they know how important the train is to many people.
The Hyderabad-Bengaluru Yesvantur Vande Bharat Express service is halted on Fridays.
Commuters have expressed strong criticism due to the change.
The train previously had a high occupancy rate and is important for weekend travel.
The halt is due to maintenance scheduling, according to SCR officials.
Officials are considering a shift back to the original halt day.
