Noida: The night service of the buses of the Transport Corporation has started once again in Uttar Pradesh. The night bus service of UP Roadways, which was closed last month due to fog, has been restored again. ARM NP Singh of Noida Depot said that for night service the buses of Lucknow, Varanasi, Prayagraj will be operated from their earlier timings. Apart from this, all ordinary, AC Janrath, Volvo and sleeper bus services operating between 9 am and 12 midnight will leave as per schedule. Online booking service of roadways buses can also start from Monday. Fixed time table of buses going to different areas has been implemented. There has been no change in this.
Last month, a decision was taken by the UP Roadways to stop the night services. Dense fog started covering Delhi NCR as well as most areas of UP from around 20 December. Due to this visibility was decreasing at night. Vehicles plying on the roads started facing a lot of trouble. Seeing the danger of accidents, the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) decided to stop the night services.
UPSRTC had banned the operation of buses plying on various routes from January 15 to 20. In view of the change in weather of the state and reduction in the effect of fog, it has been decided to start the operation of buses opening from Noida depot. This will now provide a lot of relief to the passengers. Right now the passengers of these routes had to resort to trains or other services.
