New Feeder Bus Routes Announced
Jaipur Metro has announced new feeder bus routes to enhance last-mile connectivity for passengers. The new routes will connect metro stations to key residential and commercial areas that are not directly served by the metro.
A total of 15 new routes have been added, covering areas such as Malviya Nagar, Jagatpura, Vaishali Nagar, and Mansarovar Extension. The feeder buses will operate from 6:30 AM to 9:30 PM, with a frequency of 15 minutes during peak hours and 30 minutes during off-peak hours.
"Last-mile connectivity is crucial for increasing metro ridership. These new feeder bus routes will make it easier for people to use the metro for their daily commute," said the JMRC Transport Coordinator.
The feeder buses are air-conditioned and equipped with GPS tracking and CCTV cameras. Passengers can use their metro smart cards to pay for the bus fare, with a 10% discount on the total fare when using both services.
The JMRC has also launched a mobile app that provides real-time information about bus locations and estimated arrival times. The app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
