Jaipur Good News: A significant step has been taken to improve the public transport system in Jaipur city. A total of 2035 mini-buses will now operate on 16 routes across the city. The transport department has issued a notification to this effect, granting permits for these routes. Previously, 865 mini-buses operated on these routes; this number has been increased by 1170.
Currently, approximately 500 mini-buses operate in Jaipur, transporting around 50,000 passengers daily. With the operation of over 2000 mini-buses, approximately one lakh passengers will now benefit from improved public transport facilities.
The city's population is steadily increasing, but the number of public transport vehicles is decreasing. A decline in the number of mini-buses has been recorded over the past five years. Most of the currently operating mini-buses are 15 to 20 years old and in dilapidated condition. Similarly, the number of JCTSL low-floor buses has also decreased. While there were 400 low-floor buses previously, their number has now dropped to just 200.
