What was the distance criteria specified for VM? Because it looks that they are planning to run for 300 - 400 kms than stated. Ig it was around 100-200 kms?

There are regular MEMU/DEMU services operating similar distances. But this one is Air-conditioned and skipping a lot of intermediate halts like a regular Intercity Express does and makes the name 'Metro' redundant.

Agree:VB with VM
I guess this is made to replace Intercity trains.
If yes then a lot of VBs can be converted into VMs by marking 4 of the 12 coaches in VM as reserved.

Yes, I feel the same way.
The MAQ- MAO VB should be replaced by a Vande Metro as it skips to many in between stations. It mostly has below 50% occupancy.

Yes. This idea will click in a few routes as an alternative to Intercity trains.

We've been flooded with VBs on so many routes without demand.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
