The Capital Region Urban Transport (CRUT) would resume Mo Bus service from Tuesday, informed an official release.
“Initially, buses will run in seven routes in capital region from 7 am to 7 pm. Now, only non-AC buses will operate. We will keep adding more buses and routes in coming days,” informed CRUT General Manager Dipti Mahapatro.
No standing passenger would be allowed to travel in the buses. All passengers need to wear masks. “No mask, no entry” policy will be followed. Passengers are also advised to carry sanitisers and tender exact changes to purchase tickets, she said.
“We intend to digitise the commute in the near future to avoid contacts during transactions. We will introduce QR code and tap and pay card to facilitate cashless transaction. This will allow a hassle-free and risk-free travel for the commuter in the times of Covid,” said Mahapatro.
The cleanliness and hygiene of each bus would be verified by depot managers before they start their journeys for the day, she said.
Buses would now run on routes of Airport-CDA, Cuttack, Nandan Vihar- Lingipur, Master Canteen-CDA, Cuttack, Master Canteen-Khordha NBS, Master Canteen-Sum Hospital, Dumduma-Mancheswar and Master Canteen-AIIMS, Bhubaneswar.
