The '''Yuva Express'''<ref name="yuva">{{cite web|title='Yuva' Trains for youth and low-income passengers|url=http://pib.nic.in/newsite/erelease.aspx?relid=49671|work=[[Government of India]]|publisher=[[Press Information Bureau]]|access-date=3 July 2009}}</ref> series of trains were introduced by erstwhile Minister of Railways [[Mamata Banerjee]] during the 2009-10 budget together with the [[Duronto Express]]. They were intended to provide an air-conditioned low-cost travel option for the youth of the country.<br />
<br />
During the budget, two trains between Howrah & Mumbai were chosen. It was initially intended to run as a point to point service however commercial stops were soon introduced on the service. Sixty percent seats of the train are reserved for students, low-income groups & people belonging to the age group of 18 - 45yrs. <br />
[[File:12247 Yuva Express - AC Chair Car.jpg|thumb|Yuva Express - AC Chair Car coach]]<br />
To avail this facility, a traveler must have an age/income proof certificate. A copy of the documents is required to be produced while making the booking while a second set must be carried during travel for verification by the ticket checking staff. Earlier there were only AC chair car coaches but later it was augmented by AC 2 Tier and AC 3 Tier coaches as well.<br />
