India's Free Train Celebrates 75 Years
There is a special train in India that has been free for the past 75 years.
The Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) runs this train and thinks about charging money because it uses a lot of fuel, about 18 to 20 litres every hour.
But they decided to keep it free because it is very important to the history and traditions of the people.
It is more than just a way to travel; it is a piece of living history.
