Lucknow-Kanpur bus travel to become costlier, 60 km additional distance and fare hike up to 80 rupees

Commuters traveling between Lucknow and Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh will soon face higher travel costs. According to reports from Amar Ujala, repair work has commenced on the Jajmau bridge in Kanpur. Due to this construction, the administration has prohibited heavy vehicles from using the bridge.

As a result of these restrictions, the route for buses operating between Lucknow and Kanpur has been altered. Buses will now have to traverse a longer path to reach their destination. Official details indicate that this diversion adds 60 kilometers to the total travel distance.

This increase in distance will directly impact passenger ticket prices. Reports suggest that bus fares on this route may rise by as much as 80 rupees. Passengers will now be required to pay more to cover the extended journey.

This arrangement is expected to remain in place until the completion of the bridge repairs. The administration implemented the ban on heavy vehicles for safety reasons during the construction phase.

Travelers are advised to check for updates regarding the new route and fare structure before planning their trips. The changes in bus services are likely to cause inconvenience to daily commuters.

While the transport department has yet to release a detailed revised schedule following these changes, it is anticipated that the travel time will also increase significantly due to the diversion.

This situation will persist until the bridge maintenance work is successfully concluded. Local authorities have appealed for public cooperation to ensure the construction proceeds without disruption.
