The Gurugram city bus service on the IMT Manesar route number 134 from IFFCO Chowk will become operational from June 6. The service will be flagged off by Commissioner of Police Muhammad Akil, from IMT Manesar.

The Gurugram Metropolitan City Bus Limited (GMCBL) have been completed all preparations for this new route. The authority is all set to launch a fleet of eleven low floor buses. The buses will start from IFFCO Chowk and will come to IMT Manesar covering all major points on the route and will be available at the duration of 15 minutes.

With this facility, approximately 175,000 people who go to work in Manesar from adjoining places of NCR will be benefited because in the absence of proper Bus service they were relying on Autos or other private means of transports.

A GMCBL spokesperson said that the route starting from IFFCO Chowk to IMT Manesar is officially numbered 134. On this route, the first bus from IFFCO Chowk will be found at six o'clock in the morning, while the final bus will depart from IMT Manesar for IFFCO Chowk at 7.25 PM during the evening.

The route will cover all the major junctions including IFFCO Chowk, Signature Tower, Star Mall, Sector 31 NH-48, Rajiv Chowk, Rajiv Colony, Naharpur Rupa Village NH-48, Hero Honda Chowk, Khandsa Village FOB, Narsinghpur FOB, Khedki Daula NH -48, Rampura Chowk, IMT Chowk, HSIIDC Complex, Naharpur Turn T Point, Banskushala, Maruti Circle, Aliyar Bas Chowk, Maruti Gate No. 2, Maruti Gate No. 4 and Dhana Mod.

A number of bus stops have been placed at strategic points to cater to commuters.

The buses are incorporated with a mobile application to enable passengers to get all the information about the routes, fares and location of buses on their mobile phones.

"We have been pursuing this issue from past some time. There are very few linkages from Delhi, Gurugram, and HUDA City Metro Station to IMT Manesar. We always required linkages with good frequencies, especially during morning and evening hours. And we are glad that we have been heard," Manmohan Gaind, General Secretary, Manesar Industries Welfare Association (MIWA) said. "Industry was suffering because most of the people do not want to come to this part of the city owing to the non-availability of good public transport. But with this, things might change and Industry might get good manpower, said Arun Popli, President, MIWA.
