Rakshabandhan 2026: Buses to increase in Bareilly region, transport services to reach remote rural areas

In anticipation of the Rakshabandhan festival, the transport department has made special preparations for the convenience of passengers. The number of buses on local routes in the Bareilly region will be increased to ensure that sisters traveling home for the festival do not face any difficulties.

According to the Amar Ujala bureau report, the Bareilly, Rohilkhand, Pilibhit, and Badaun depots have been activated under this plan. Five buses from each depot have been specifically reserved for local and rural routes.

This step has been taken especially for passengers residing in remote villages away from the city. Often during festivals, people face significant problems due to a shortage of buses on rural routes.

The transport department aims to ensure that bus services are accessible to remote rural areas during Rakshabandhan. The operation of these additional buses will help passengers reach their destinations on time.

Officials stated that this arrangement for buses on local routes has been made keeping in mind the passenger demand. The increased availability of buses during peak hours is expected to provide relief to travelers.

This service is particularly for those sisters who rely on public transport to reach their brothers' homes. Improved connectivity in rural areas will make the festival celebrations much more convenient.

The transport department has appealed to passengers to reach the bus stands on time to avoid any inconvenience during their journey. The administration is fully alert to ensure smooth operations during the festival.
