        • Special fare\/unreserved trains are temporary and seasonal<\/strong>, and often have low operational priority<\/strong>, leading to frequent delays and uncertain scheduling<\/li>\n
        • According to users:
          \n

          \u201cNever opt for special train unless there is no option.\u201d
          \n\u201cSpecial fare train are just money milking machines\u2026 given the lowest priority\u2026\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          \ud83d\udee4\ufe0f Travel Guidance (as of July 2025)<\/h2>\n
