Mumbai: The Tejas Express, India's first high-speed train, made its first trip on Monday from Mumbai to Goa. The luxury train took 400 passengers on the eight-and-a-half-hour journey - less time than the Janshatabdi.
The train was revealed to the public in Mumbai on Sunday. The bright yellow superfast train promises a flight-like experience on the track at less than Rs 1,500 a ride. Its first commercial journey was flagged off by Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu on Monday afternoon.
The Tejas Express has German coaches fitted with LED screens, coffee vending machines and wi-fi connectivity. The train will have thirteen coaches including one executive coach with a capacity of 56. All doors are centrally controlled.
The ticket fares will be cheaper than flights but 20 per cent higher than that of the Shatabdi Express. The trains can run at a speed of 200 km per hour.
