RSRTC services likely between Jaipur and Delhi from next week

JAIPUR: Passengers waiting for RSRTC services between Delhi and Jaipur will have to wait for some more days. Though RSRTC has started inter-state buses operations to Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Haryana, they are awaiting nod from Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) for resuming services.
Though RSRTC had planned to pick and drop passengers up to Sarai Kaley Khan bus stop in Delhi, they have dropped the idea.
“We were thinking of sending our buses to Delhi up to Sari Kaley Khan. But we have dropped this idea for the time being. We are now awaiting for the final nod from the Delhi government in this regard,” said a senior officer of RSRTC on Monday.
After a meeting, senior officers decided to wait until a nod from Delhi government, which might take another week.
RSRTC CMD Naveen Jain said, “We are in constant touch with our Delhi counterparts. We are hopeful to resume our services to Delhi this week.”
Earlier, RSRTC authorities had alleged that since the Union government had paved the way for inter-state movement, Delhi government can’t deny resuming services.
“We are getting a good passengers load in routes that have been opened. Likewise, our buses to various destinations within the state are also fetching good revenue,” said an officer.
Meanwhile, private operators are illegally plying their buses to Delhi for almost a month.
