During the festive season, bus operators in Jharkhand increased services to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar as train tickets ran out.
The festive travel surge has left many passengers stranded as train tickets to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar sold out early this month.
In response, several bus operators in Jharkhand have added new routes and increased the frequency of existing services to accommodate the high demand.
The additional buses are aimed at easing the pressure on railways and providing commuters with a reliable alternative for their journeys to the neighboring states.
Transport officials say the move is expected to help mitigate the inconvenience caused by the ticket shortage, though they urge passengers to book tickets in advance where possible.
The increased bus services reflect a broader trend of private operators stepping in during peak travel periods to meet the needs of the traveling public.
