Bihar to Launch AC/Deluxe Bus Services to Delhi and Many States from September 20, 2025

The Bihar State Road Transport Corporation is rolling out new inter-state bus services later this month. The first phase will see air-conditioned and deluxe buses running on routes connecting Bihar with neighbouring states. Services are scheduled to begin on 20 September 2025, offering a comfortable travel option for people heading to Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Jharkhand and West Bengal.

To make travel easier, the corporation will open online booking from 1 September 2025. Passengers can reserve seats through the official website or by calling the toll-free number 1800‑35 7251. Officials encourage travellers to secure tickets early, especially during the festive season, to avoid the last-minute rush and guarantee seats on their preferred routes.

Routes will include daily connections from Patna, Bhagalpur, Darbhanga, Muzaffarpur, Gaya and Purnia to major cities such as Delhi, Ghaziabad, Gorakhpur, Lucknow, Gurugram, Ambala, Panipat, Siliguri and Kolkata. The fleet will feature both air-conditioned and deluxe coaches equipped with comfortable seating and basic amenities. The services aim to reduce reliance on private operators and provide a government-operated alternative at competitive fares.

Key points for travellers: online booking opens 1 September; buses begin 20 September; routes cover multiple cities across Bihar and adjoining states; bookings can be made via bstrc.bihar.gov.in or by calling the helpline; seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Passengers should check the schedule and prices on the website before confirming their journey.

After launching the initial services, the transport corporation plans to monitor demand and expand routes if needed. Passengers are advised to keep travel documents ready and arrive at boarding points early on the day of departure. With reliable services, the authorities hope to improve connectivity and make festive travel more convenient.
