Many IT workers and working professionals who regularly travel between hyderabad and Bengaluru do not consider the Kacheguda – Yesvantpur Vande Bharat Express realistic given its timetable. The train was recently created to provide speedier travel between the two IT centers. This Vande Bharat travels across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and karnataka six days a week. According to railway officials, the introduction of this train was primarily done with consideration for IT workers.

About 610 kilometers separate Kacheguda and Yesvantpur, and the Vande Bharat train travels that distance in 8.30 hours; otherwise, it would take 10 hours. While many working professionals, including IT staff, are pleased with the recently launched train, some have concerns about its schedule, claiming it is not practical.

"The VB Express schedules are not practical, at least not for me. In order to ride the train between the two cities, we might need to take a day off from work. The majority of employees find the schedules unsuitable, while families may not find this to be a problem, according to a Chikkadpally software employee.

The Vande Bharat Express now leaves Kacheguda at 5:30 am and travels through mahabubnagar (6.49 am), kurnool City (8.24 am), Ananthapur (10.44 am), and dharmavaram (11.14 am) to arrive at Yesvantpur junction at 2:00 pm. After that, it can take folks till two hours into the evening to go to their house or place of work. This indicates that travel takes up the entire day.

The timing of the return trip is similarly comparable. At 2.45 pm, the train departs from Yesvantpur junction and arrives at Kacheguda at 11:15 pm. One has to leave by 12 noon to escape the traffic in Bengaluru, and by the time one reaches hyderabad at 11.15 pm, it would be far past midnight to go home to locations like kukatpally and Miyapur.

Due to time restrictions, a young person who regularly takes buses between hyderabad and Bangalore, arriving at their destination by 7 am the following day, begs that the railway authorities take into account a modification in the scheduling. "If the train can get at Yesvantpur before 12pm, that would be great. After that, there would be a chance to work for at least half a day, he stated. For the convenience of working professionals, he even advises that the train departs Yesvantpur at 4 p.m. in the other direction.
