Jaipur: Buses operated by Rajasthan State Roadways Transport Corporation (RSRTC) and state-run corporations of neighbouring Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh shall utilise two different terminals in Transport Nagar from Tuesday. Instead of Narayan Singh Circle, passengers shall now board buses from these two terminals – one designated for Delhi-bound buses and the other for Agra-bound buses.
Speaking to TOI, a senior RSRTC official said buses travelling via Delhi Road would depart from a bus stand on the Delhi-bound flank, approximately 500 metres from Transport Nagar chauraha, opposite Bajri Mandi. Conversely, buses heading towards Agra would collect passengers from the bus stand situated at the corner of Ghat-ki Guni tunnel-bound flank of Agra Road, precisely at Rotary Circle.
"Besides RSRTC buses, this arrangement encompasses buses operated by other state-run corporations. Typically, buses of Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh ply on these two routes,' said the RSRTC official.
The directive effectively means that in lieu of Narayan Singh Circle, the traffic and transport department have allocated three bus stands in Transport Nagar. Whilst government buses shall utilise these two stands, a bus stand beneath the TP Nagar flyover, adjacent to Bajri Mandi on the Jawahar Circle-bound flank of Delhi Road has been designated for private buses. Currently, only state-carriage buses – those relocated from Ghat Gate – operate from this terminal.
RSRTC officials said until the system is updated, passengers holding tickets – indicating Narayan Singh Circle as boarding point – shall be permitted to board either from Transport Nagar or Sindh Camp bus stand.
