Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) is taking bold steps to win over travelers with exciting offers. In an effort to provide passengers with a comfortable and budget-friendly AC travel experience, they’ve introduced the Janarath Air Conditioned Bus Services. Here’s what you need to know:
Connecting Lucknow and Gauriphantha
The new Janarath Air Conditioned Bus Service will ply between Lucknow and Gauriphantha, located near Dudhwa National Park. Passengers can enjoy the journey at an incredibly affordable fare.
- Fare: For the Lucknow to Gauriphanta route, passengers will only need to pay 457 Rupees.
Bus Timings
To accommodate the convenience of travelers, the service operates on the following schedule:
- Departure: The journey kicks off from Kaiserbagh in Lucknow, passing through Balrampur.
- Return: The bus makes its return journey from Gauriphanta to Kaiserbagh at 5 pm and 6 pm, traversing the route via Balrampur and Palia.
More Routes on the Horizon
UPSRTC has more in store for travelers. Another Janarath Bus Service is in the pipeline, set to run from Kaiserbagh to Sampurnanagar via Khajuria. Details regarding the timetable and fare for this route will be unveiled soon.
Challenges Faced by Drivers and Bus Staff
While UPSRTC is making strides to enhance the travel experience, challenges persist, particularly for drivers and bus operators. The shortage of buses on certain routes has led to longer working hours and increased burdens on staff. Here are some of the issues:
- Shortage of Buses: Old buses have been removed from many routes without new ones to replace them, reducing the overall fleet size.
- Reduced Services: Routes that once had 10 buses in operation now run with only 5, placing additional stress on staff.
Efforts to Address Challenges
UPSRTC recognizes the difficulties faced by its drivers and bus staff due to these challenges. The corporation is actively working to resolve these issues, ensuring that the workforce can perform their duties efficiently and comfortably.
Despite the hurdles, UPSRTC remains dedicated to providing passengers with affordable and comfortable travel options. The introduction of the Janarath Air Conditioned Bus Services is just one example of their commitment to passenger satisfaction.
