New Buses Connecting the Mountains to Delhi
The Uttarakhand Transport Corporation is launching new buses to improve transportation from the hilly areas to the capital, New Delhi. This initiative aims to enhance roadways services and make travel more convenient for residents in Uttarakhand. Currently, the corporation has received a total of 10 new buses, which have been distributed among five depots in the Kathgodam division, including Ranikhet, Almora, Haldwani, Kathgodam, and Ramnagar. Plans are underway to introduce more buses once they become available, ensuring better connectivity between the mountains and Delhi.
Current Operations and Future Plans
As of now, the Haldwani-Kathgodam depot has begun operating the new BS6 model buses on the Nainital-Delhi route. This is a significant step because there are discussions about banning the entry of older BS4 buses into Delhi after December. To adapt to these changes and remain compliant with the regulations, the transport corporation has proactively started deploying these modern buses on the Delhi route. The focus is on providing reliable and efficient service to travelers, making their journeys smoother and more comfortable.
Expanding the Fleet for Better Services
While the current fleet consists of only 10 new buses, the corporation is committed to expanding its services as more buses become available. All depots in the Kathgodam division have received orders to prepare for the new buses, which will further enhance connectivity between hilly areas and the capital. This expansion is not only expected to meet the growing demand for transportation but also to improve overall travel experiences for residents and visitors alike. As the plans materialize, the residents of Uttarakhand can look forward to improved roadways services and more options for traveling to Delhi.
