The Yuva Express[1] is a type of trains in India that was introduced by Minister of Railways Mamata Banerjee in 2009-2010 along with the Duronto Express. The Yuva trains were supposed to be a low-cost air-conditioned alternative for the youth, unemployed, and migrant labor, with Duronto targeting more affluent passengers.[2][3] The first train linked Howrah and Delhi.[2] Only one Yuva Express is currently operated by Indian Railways.
