Recently Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off the new Vande Bharat between Delhi-Jupari. This train completes the journey from Delhi Cantt to Jaipur in about 3.30 hours. Already 2 premium trains Ajmer Shatabdi and Delhi-Jaipur Double Decker are operated on this route. Both these trains are also very fast. Of course, these trains will not be able to reach Jaipur before Vande Bharat, but is the difference in their travel time enough to justify Vande Bharat’s higher fares?
Today we will answer this question. Here we will compare the travel time and fare of all the three trains, on the basis of which you will be able to easily decide which train will be easier and less expensive for you to reach Jaipur from Delhi.
Vande Bharat

Ajmer Shatabdi

Double Decker
Its executive class fare is the lowest among all three. Its ticket is Rs.1165. Whereas, the fare of AC chair car is only Rs 490. This train departs from Delhi Cantt at 5:52 PM and reaches Jaipur at 10:00 PM.
