The upgraded Vande Bharat Express provides a smooth and comfortable travel experience.

Digital Desk: Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off India's fifth and South India's first Vande Bharat train from Bengaluru on Friday. It will connect Mysuru and Chennai.

"The train will improve connectivity between Chennai's industrial hub, Bengaluru's Tech and Startup hub, and the famous tourist city of Mysuru," the PMO said.

"If run at full capacity, the train can reach Chennai from Bengaluru in just three hours," a railway official told PTI.

The first Vande Bharat Express ran on the New Delhi-Kanpur-Allahabad-Varanasi route on February 15, 2019.

Here are some of the features that make it different from other express and high-speed trains in India:

· The train's exterior is aerodynamically designed. It includes Kavach technology, a cutting-edge safety feature.

·Kavach technology is an indigenously developed system that aids in train collision prevention. It has a top speed of 160 kms per hour. The bogies are outfitted with fully suspended traction motors and a cutting-edge suspension system. This improves the smoothness and safety of the run.

• It has a driver's cabin at each end, allowing for quicker turnaround at terminating stations. All classes have reclining seats, and executive coaches also have 180-degree rotating seats.
