Patna to have 70 new Buses running by next month

Patna: 70 city buses will start plying on in the state Capital within a month. These buses would be 32 seaters and also have standing facility like those in metros. These non-AC buses, along with providing easy transportation to Patnaites, would also ease the flow of traffic.

If one gets late and misses the bus, there will be no reason to worry as the buses would be covering the six routes at a gap of every 10 minutes.

The buses would also reduce the cost of transportation in the city. Though fares have not yet been finalized, “they will at least be 75% cheaper than the auto.

At present, regular daily ticket system is on the cards, but the state transport department is working out details about monthly passes for students and office-goers. Not only this, officials are also planning to provide several other facilities and seating arrangements for women.

This project is in its final stage. Buses have been bought and registration formalities completed. Even the drivers and conductors have been assigned the job.
