There should have been a Patna New Delhi Duronto train for the benefit of people of Bihar.
Though number of trains are being introduced but punctuality of the trains should also be looked into. Goods trains should also carry goods within a time limit so that service of the goods trains are utilized. There should also be a punctuality in delivery of goods through the goods trains so that people will prefer to transport their goods through trains which will bring 4 times profit to the railway department.
