Uttarakhand Transport Corporation (UTC) would use 180 buses of its fleet on Dehradun and Haridwar routes to ferry the Yoga participants from Haridwar and also to take them back after the International Yoga Day show at Forest Research Institute (FRI) in Dehradun is over.
Divisional manager (Operational) UTC Dehradun, Pawan Mehra while talking to The pioneer said on Wednesday that around 280 busses operate from Dehradun depot and around 150 from Haridwar depot. “We would keep 180 busses to pick the Yoga participants and to drop them after the programme is over. We are making all possible arrangements to ensure that the participants for the show as well as the regular commuters face no transportation problem on the day. The buses operating on the routes would do extra trips to meet the rush if required,” he said.
He further said that some of the special buses would start running from Wednesday evening. “We would take out buses as per the requirement on Thursday,” he added.
