Vande Bharat: Automated Doors Strand Passenger Who Got Off for Tea

• Vande Bharat Express passengers should not deboard for tea/food at stops due to automated doors.
• A viral video showed a passenger left behind after getting off for tea, as the train's automated doors closed.
• Vande Bharat trains have automated doors that open only at designated stations; passengers cannot open them.
• Tea, coffee, and meals are served onboard, either included in the fare or available for purchase.
• IRCTC now permits passengers who didn't pre-book meals to buy food onboard, ensuring availability.

Why It Matters: Vande Bharat's automated doors demand passenger awareness to prevent being stranded.
