Usually, a person, who serves food to passengers, earns Rs 8,000- Rs 10,000 from a licensed caterer. However, train hostesses and stewards in Vande Bharat Express will be paid Rs 25,000 per month for providing better services, the IRCTC spokesperson was quoted as saying in the report.
The trial service has been launched for six months. If this turns out to be successful, then the service will be extended to other Indian Railways trains, the report says.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off Vande Bharat Express’ first journey from Delhi to Varanasi. The Vande Bharat Express was earlier known as Train 18. Vande Bharat Express was designed and developed by the Integral Coach Factory, Chennai in 18 months.
This train is a product of ‘Make in India’ project. The train has a regenerative braking system in coaches which helps save 30 percent of electrical energy. In April, Vande Bharat Express, which is the first Indian Railways engine-less semi-high speed train, created a record for being on-time on the most days.
Indian Railways has also conducted the trial of the second Vande Bharat Express on the Delhi-Katra route. It has been learned that soon the commercial operations will begin on this route. Vande Bharat Express on the Delhi-Katra route will reduce travel time to only eight hours from the existing 12 hours to 8 hours.
