The Gujarat tourism department has introduced glass‑roofed buses for sightseeing, offering a new way to view the state’s attractions.
Gujarat’s tourism authority has rolled out a fleet of glass‑roofed tourist buses aimed at enhancing the visitor experience across the state. The transparent roofs allow passengers to enjoy panoramic views of landmarks, heritage sites and natural scenery without leaving the comfort of a vehicle.
The new buses are being deployed on popular tourist circuits, linking major attractions and providing an alternative to the existing Vista Dome train services. Officials say the initiative is part of a broader effort to diversify travel options and attract both domestic and international tourists.
Travel operators have been briefed on the schedule and pricing, and the buses are expected to run year‑round, subject to weather conditions. The move reflects Gujarat’s focus on modernising its tourism infrastructure while preserving the visual appeal of its cultural and natural sites.
Industry observers note that glass‑roof buses could set a precedent for other Indian states seeking to upgrade their sightseeing offerings. The rollout will be monitored for passenger response and operational efficiency.
The tourism department has invited feedback from travelers to fine‑tune the service, signalling a data‑driven approach to future tourism development in the region.
