Taking to her social media handle, an X user, Nalini Unagar (@NalinisKitchen) shared her brother’s experience in both the China train and the Vande Bharat. She mentioned that he travelled at around 300 km/h, paid about ₹1,600 for a 270 km journey, and completed the trip in nearly one hour.
In comparison, his travel on the Vande Bharat in India was different but still comfortable. The train travelled at around 95 km/h. He paid about ₹1,050 (Tatkal) for a 260 km journey, which took around three hours. The numbers clearly show the difference — China is faster in speed, but Vande Bharat feels more affordable. This is what we feel when comparing both experiences.
