The officer said that the Corporation decided to operate the extra buses so that people can travel with comfort during the festive season.
As per reports, the UPSRTC will operate additional 200 buses from Delhi to various cities of Uttar Pradesh starting from October 25. A large number of buses out of the 200 will also be connecting to different places in Uttarakhand and Purvanchal.
Regional Manager of UPSRTC, AK Singh said, “The Corporation has decided to operate the buses from Delhi’s Anand Vihar, Kashmiri Gate and Ghaziabad’s Kaushambi.”
As per Singh, UPSRTC has deployed additional buses at the government bus depots and instructed its operators to increase the frequency of short distance buses.
