India launches and starts semi-fast train service

Starting India's first semi-fast train, the Gatimaan Express is an important breakthrough and  amajor milestone. With the Delhi to Agra and back  train equipped with airline tstyle seating , providing  wi-fi services and with snacks served by attendants with the distance covered within 90 to a 100 minutes at a fare of $ 20 each way is impressive.The future plans are to connect many other important metros. Kudos to Indian Railways and other political and administrative entities for  getting   Indians on  such fast track and opening up possibilities of dozens more of such semi-fast trains elsewhere
