PM Modi Flags Off Mumbai-Goa Vande Bharat Express: Route, Timing, Ticket Fare

The Mumbai-Goa Vande Bharat Express is expected to cut the travel time on the route by at least 2 hours, which is already well connected by the Indian Railways.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has flagged off the Mumbai-Goa Vande Bharat Express train virtually from Bhopal. The semi-high speed which was supposed to start from June 3, was delayed due to the tragic train accident in Balasore, Odisha. During its journey, the train will cover a distance of 586 km between Mumbai and Goa. Furthermore, the train is expected to reduce the travel time between the cities by over an hour, supplementing the ease of travel. The Mumbai-Goa Vande Bharat Express will run between Madgaon Station in Goa to Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai.
