To bring relief to people traveling home during Diwali and Chhath Puja, the transportation department has announced the operation of 200 extra buses from Gorakhpur region.
These buses will connect various stations including Delhi, Kanpur, Lucknow, Prayagraj, and Varanasi from locations like Gorakhpur, Devriya, Padrauna, Tamkuhi, Sonauli, and Maharajganj.
Enhanced Local Bus Routes
Apart from these additional buses, local bus services will also be increased on routes such as Deoria, Padrauna, Tamkuhi, Sonauli, and Maharajganj.
This effort aims to ensure that people arriving from outside can reach their homes on time and return comfortably.
Additional staff will be assigned to assist passengers boarding and disembarking at designated stations.
Uniform Fare for Better Convenience
During the festive season, the department has introduced a new measure to facilitate travelers. Rajdhani Express bus services will now have the same fare as regular buses, eliminating any confusion.
