Railway Board Announces Passengers Can Now Purchase Meals on Vande Bharat Trains Even If Pre-Booking Option Was Not Selected.
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Introduction of Vande for Travelers

Vande is a newly introduced fragrance aimed at enhancing the travel experience for passengers journeying on India’s Bharat train. The Railway Board has announced that travelers who do not select any food alternative during the booking of their tickets will have the opportunity to purchase food on the train. This initiative is part of a broader effort to improve catering services and ensure passenger satisfaction during their travels.

Restoration of Food Options on Trains

In a recent circular directed to the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), the Railway Board emphasized the importance of providing food options for passengers who opt for “Current Booking” after the train’s chart has been prepared and before departure. The circular allows for the restoration of food sales and services on these trains, ensuring that passengers can access food even if they did not pre-select this option during ticket booking. This move aims to address complaints from passengers regarding the unavailability of food when they wish to purchase it while on board.

Implementation of Quality Food Services

Railway officials have recognized that many passengers often face challenges when they forget to choose the “prepaid” food option at the time of booking. In light of this, the new directive allows these passengers to buy quality food during their journey. The IRCTC has been tasked with taking all necessary measures to ensure that clean and good-quality food is made available to passengers on the train, thus enhancing their overall travel experience and addressing previous concerns regarding catering services.
