The Transport department is working on an action plan to develop 18 bus stands with modern facilities on PPP model. “This is an important step towards improving passenger amenities. The government is committed to providing the best of facilities to passengers and has thus made many proposals which, when implemented, will transform the department,” Transport Minister Dayashankar Singh said here on Saturday.
He said the e-tendering process for the construction of bus stands would be started soon. “In view of the suggestions of bidders, a proposal will be prepared and sent to the government soon for approval. Tenders will be invited for this as soon as permission is received from the government,” Singh said.
The minister said the new bus stands would come up in Kaushambi (Ghaziabad), Kanpur Central, Varanasi Cantt, Civil Lines (Prayagraj Vibhutikhand Gomti Nagar (Lucknow), Meerut, Transport Nagar (Agra), Idgah (Agra), Agra Fort, Aligarh, and Mathura (Old).
The bus stands will also come up in Ghaziabad, Gorakhpur, Charbagh Bus Station (Lucknow), Zero Road Depot (Prayagraj), Amausi (Lucknow), Sahibabad, and Ayodhya. All these bus stands would be built on the PPP model and would have high-level passenger facilities, the minister said.
