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 (it became a tradition in India for the new Minister to create new classes of service[2]). 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.[3][2] The first train linked Howrah and Mumbai.[3] Only 1 Yuva Express is currently operated by Indian Railways.
