The Madhya Pradesh government will start its Sugam Bus service on Friday, with 145 of the 351 buses operating from Indore to improve connectivity to nearby towns and villages.
Indore will become a major hub for the newly launched Sugam Bus service, as 145 buses out of a total fleet of 351 are scheduled to start operations from the city on Friday. The initiative, announced by the state government, aims to strengthen public transport links between Indore and surrounding towns and rural areas.
The Sugam Bus network is designed to provide affordable, reliable and comfortable travel options across Madhya Pradesh. While the entire state will see 351 buses deployed, the concentration of 145 vehicles in Indore reflects the city’s strategic importance as a regional centre.
Officials expect the service to reduce travel time, ease congestion on existing routes and support economic activity in peripheral districts. By offering regular schedules and modern amenities, the government hopes to encourage commuters to shift from private vehicles to public transport.
The rollout will be monitored closely, with plans to expand the fleet and routes based on passenger demand and operational performance in the coming months.
