Vande Bharat full, fares soar on Udaipur-Jaipur as Intercity closes.

• Intercity train on Udaipur-Jaipur route temporarily suspended from Nov 21 to Dec 13 due to Jaipur station redevelopment.
• This suspension has caused Vande Bharat Express seats to be fully booked and led to increased waiting lists.
• Passengers now face higher travel costs, paying ₹985 for Vande Bharat compared to ₹745 for Intercity's AC3.
• Vande Bharat, the primary alternative, runs only on Wed, Fri, Sun, and is experiencing high demand due to wedding season, work, and tourism.

Why It Matters: Udaipur-Jaipur commuters face higher costs and difficulty due to temporary train closure.
