Bharat vs Pakistan Green Line: Features, Facilities and Ticket Fares of India's Vande Bharat and Pakistan's Green Line Express

Among luxury trains, India's Vande Bharat and Pakistan's Green Line Express stand out as two of the most advanced and premium products that offer differences in almost all areas. Both have raised the cause of revolutionizing passenger travel, the newest super-speed luxury trains, having all modern feature and comforts. Let us dive in to a comparison of these two marvelous train services.

The Green Line Express has been a flagship train in Pakistan since its launch in 2015. Covering some 1,500 kilometers between Karachi and Islamabad in about 22 hours, the train boasts several classes: AC Parlour Class, business class, and AC Standard class, offered for passengers who expect the greatest luxury. The train has a maximum speed of 105 km/h and an average speed of 72 km/h. This means that it is a comfortable but quite a slow option compared to other premium trains. Fares for the Green Line start at PKR 2200 for the economy class and reach PKR 6650 for business class.

Conversely, India's Vande Bharat Express since its launch in 2019 has gained incredible momentum and created a game-changer in Indian Railways. Reaching speeds of 160 km/h, it outpaces Pakistan's Green Line, as far as speed is concerned. Even the Vande Bharat takes a few very important routes of India; currently, it runs with 102 trains as of September 2024. This train has a semi-high-speed experience and comes equipped with state-of-the-art facilities such as rotatable seats, CCTV cameras, mobile charging points, and automatic plug doors. To those in the executive class, Vande Bharat adds more comfort: deep freezers and hot water boilers, for example, for that extra refined travel experience.

Ticket prices for the Vande Bharat: 1565 in economy class; 2825 in executive class- perhaps a luxury of affordability for many.

Comparing the ticket prices and facilities, value for money, India's Vande Bharat seems to offer; in terms of speed, facilities, and affordability. However, the Green Line Express is considered as the luxury train of Pakistan and offers high comfort to its passengers traveling between Karachi and Islamabad.

Both of these trains represent the best rail travel in their respective countries. Of course, the preference depends on the needs and desires of the passengers. The Vande Bharat speeds forward with modern amenities and the Green Line Express offers luxury. Both ways are unforgettable journeys.
