Pune : The number of people travelling by Vande Bharat Express is increasing day by day. The response to travel from Mumbai to Goa has been excellent. In the meantime, Vande Bharat is now running smoothly due to Diwali holidays and consecutive holidays. That is why the railway department will implement the new schedule on the Mumbai-Goa railway line.
Vande Bharat Express is currently being run thrice a week on the Mumbai-Goa Central Railway line. But now it will run for six days except Friday. The highest number of passengers travelling by Vande Bharat Express are in the age group of 15-30 years and 31-45 years.
Now, more passengers are going to Konkan and Goa for Diwali holidays and New Year celebrations. The new schedule will be implemented on Konkan Railway from November 1. Passengers will be able to travel daily except Friday for CSMT-Madgaon-CSMT Vande Bharat.
