Unpopular opinion. Vande bharat should not run between two non metro city. It would be get occupancy only if it start from a metro. Recently started VB from Nagpur to Bilapsur is a good example. As ticket price of VB is very high there would not be demand for this if it runs between two non metros. Also minimum distnace should be 600 kms to utilise its potential. Run 5 pair each from six metros . Unnecessary stating trains in routes with low demand for premium train would be wastage of resouces.

The recent VB from Nagpur to Bilapsur is a good example. Since the ticket price is very high, there won't be enough demand if it runs between two small cities. Also, the minimum distance should be 600 kms to make the most of it. Run 5 pairs of trains from each of the six big cities. Starting unnecessary trains on routes with low demand for a premium train would be a waste of resources.
