The journey to the Taj Mahal will be faster thanks to a new train

India is preparing to launch a new train, the Gatimaan Express, which will run between New Delhi and Agra.

Its distinctive feature, which amazed local residents, is the high speed for this side - transport can accelerate to 160 kilometers per hour. Europe has long been accustomed to higher speeds, but for India such an innovation is an undoubted step towards faster and more comfortable travel.

The start of regular train operation is scheduled for March 2016. If this train model proves to be productive and safe, other routes in India will gradually be equipped with it. It is noteworthy that New Delhi - Agra is a popular tourist route. Most guests of the country strive to visit the capital with its abundance of shops, bustling life, clubs and restaurants. Agra is home to the famous Taj Mahal Palace, which is a popular tourist destination. Passengers will have a choice of carriages of different classes. A standard ticket will cost approximately $10. A seat in a luxury carriage will cost 2 times more.
