Gurgaon, Faridabad to get city bus service soon
Giving a new hope to commuters, particularly to the intra-city travellers in Faridabad and Gurgaon, the Haryana Transport Department has proposed to run 100 buses in Gurgaon and another 150 in Faridabad.

THE PROPOSAL has also met with approval from the chief minister and it is likely that this plan would be implemented in the coming year. The transport department also plans to hire 250 drivers and the same number of conductors for running the service in Gurgaon. To serve Faridabad, the department plans to hire 350 drivers and conductors each on contractual basis.

A tender for buying 60 low-floor air-conditioned and non-air conditioned buses, which would be run on CNG has been floated for Gurgaon. It has also been proposed that state transport department be expanded and new posts for Faridabad and Gurgaon be created to ensure that these cities are served in a proper manner.

In Gurgaon, the fleet of 100 buses will be run on 8 to 10 routes that have been chalked out meticulously by the department. It also plans to connect Gurgaon with Manesar, Dhaula Kuan and Karol Bagh in Delhi through this service, which will have a 10 minute frequency.

Senior officials said that the deparment is committed to serve these two cities as large number of commuters are suffering due to inadequate transport facilities. Incidentally, both Gurgaon and Faridabad are the most industrialised cities of the state and contribute a massive chunk of revenue to the state exchequer.
