The Vande Bharat Sleeper Express flagged off on 1 November 2026 connects Bengaluru with which city?
- A.Chennai
- B.Hyderabad
- C.Mumbai
- D.Mangaluru
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Mumbai. The Union Railway Minister flagged off the service between SMVT Bengaluru and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus in Mumbai, joining the country's hub of information technology and startups with its financial and commercial capital. The train leaves Bengaluru in the evening and reaches Mumbai the following morning, and runs six days a week. Option A is wrong because Chennai was mentioned only for a different reason: the minister spoke of travel time between Bengaluru and Chennai coming down to about seventy-three minutes through high speed rail plans, not of a sleeper service. Option B is wrong for the same reason, as Hyderabad was named while speaking of a journey of roughly two hours and ten minutes in future. Option D is wrong because Vande Bharat services to Mangaluru were only announced as expected in the coming weeks, after electrification and testing of that route are complete, and they were not flagged off on this day.
