Great initiative but why only 6 days a week? Sunday travellers also need connectivity. Railways should consider making these services daily. Otherwise, good step for Bihar's development!

Election season special? 😄 But honestly, better late than never. Bihar has been needing better rail infrastructure for decades. Hope this is just the beginning!

The Patna-Islampur route was desperately needed! My relatives in Islampur had to take multiple buses to reach Patna. This will save so much time and money for rural commuters. Jai Bihar! 🚂

Good to see LHB coaches being introduced in Bihar. Much safer and more comfortable than the older ones. Hope they expand this to more routes soon.
