There are at least 20+ volvo buses plying daily on this route. The weekend prices of these volvos are double that on a weekday. This Shatabdi may bring some control on that. In terms of patronage the summer special shatabdi was a hit as well the Jan Shatabdi had good patronage (but used to run late always). I am sure there will be takers for the CC but find the ECC less lucrative for some. This may not turn out to be a white elephant according to me.
