Vayu Express, the bullet train between Bengaluru and Mysooru, has been

Introduced last August at a speed of 300 kph, it enabled you to reach the
City of Palaces from the state capital in 28 minutes...

trolley poles (like the electric trains) and run on pneumatic
tyres...Click here for the full version of the article.
God save ToI!
