Etymology [edit]

The name 'Jan' refers to Janata meaning people in Hindi language, hence this version of Shatabdi is meant for the Ordinary People. Jan Shatabdi is an Inter-city superfast train connecting major metropolitan cities, at low price. This train can be considered a 'down-scale' version of Shatabdi trains.^[1]
