Madhya Pradesh will resume its state government bus services on September 25, ending a 20-year gap in public transport operations.
Madhya Pradesh is set to resume state government-run bus services on September 25, marking the return of public transport operations after a gap of two decades. The move is expected to strengthen connectivity across the state and provide commuters with a reliable transport option.
The services had been discontinued 20 years ago, leaving passengers dependent on private operators for intercity and rural travel. The relaunch is being seen as a significant step toward improving affordable public transport access for residents.
Officials believe the reintroduction of state buses will particularly benefit people in smaller towns and villages who have long faced limited travel choices. The initiative is expected to ease daily commuting and enhance regional mobility across Madhya Pradesh.
