Recognizing the long waiting lists for train reservations, BSRTC is providing subsidies on bus fares, making travel more affordable and comfortable. The special bus service will operate from Patna to major cities and surrounding districts in Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, and other areas. BSRTC has equipped these buses with modern amenities for passenger comfort and safety.

The subsidy plan offers approximately a 30% discount on regular fares. For instance, the Patna-Delhi route, which typically costs ₹1873, will be available for ₹1254 after a subsidy of ₹619. Similarly, the Patna-Nagpur route fare will be reduced to ₹1133 from ₹1527, with a subsidy of ₹394. The Patna-SCR route fare has been reduced from ₹2812 to ₹1893.

Buses will depart from Delhi between 2 PM and 8 PM, arriving in Patna the next day. Passengers can conveniently book tickets online without standing in long queues. Buses will also operate from Patna to cities like Ghaziabad, Mathura, Varanasi, and Hajipur during the festivals. This initiative aims to provide passengers with a safe and economical travel option while boosting the popularity of BSRTC bus services. Tickets can be booked on the Bihar State Road Transport Corporation website at https://bsrtc.co.in/.

The Bihar government will operate buses for people traveling home for these festivals. From September 20 to November 30, buses will run to Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal. These buses will be run on a PPP model to ensure an adequate number of buses are operational.

A meeting with bus operators was held on Monday at the corporation premises in Phulwarisharif, chaired by administrator Atul Verma. Several important guidelines were issued during this meeting.

Online booking will start from September 1. Bihar Path Parivahan Nigam will start online booking from September 1, 2025. Tickets can be booked for these buses by visiting the corporation’s website. Those who are unable to book tickets online will be provided tickets via e-ticketing machines on the bus.

Passengers will get these facilities. Passengers will also be provided tickets at affordable rates during these festivals. Also, it will be mandatory to put the BSRTC logo and stickers on all buses. In addition, two bus drivers will be required on buses to Delhi and Haryana. It will also be mandatory to stick a sticker with information on fares and discounts on these buses.

Charging excessive fares from passengers in buses will be considered an offense. Bringing, keeping, or consuming alcohol in these buses will be a punishable offense. All bus documents such as tax, PUC, insurance, and permits will be mandatory, and drivers will have to adhere to the prescribed speed limit.

Getting tickets in trains is almost impossible. The crowd of people returning home increases during the festive season. In such a situation, it becomes difficult to get tickets in trains. Keeping this in mind, BSRTC has taken this initiative so that people do not face difficulties in traveling.
