The video has garnered over 7800 views on Twitter so far. Netizens applauded the talented young boy while some also asked questions about the train.
Sir I love this vande Bharat initiative. It gives a modern look to our trains. But I don’t see how its a significant improvement on the already existing shatabdis. It seems flashy but even the seats aren’t as comfortable as normal ac chair cars in shatabdis.
