Bhagalpur, Bihar – BSRTC has finally begun offering Jharkhand-Bengal bus service, which will greatly help thousands of commuters. This project forms part of the plan to strengthen connections between regions and reduce the challenges for passengers who had to depend on private operators or many travel centers to get to neighboring countries. Due to the lack of direct bus services managed by the government, this announcement has made many residents, including commuters, students, pilgrims, and business travelers, very happy. Several routes are being studied to make sure journeys stay smooth. At the moment, the Bhagalpur Transport Division is conducting field surveys of routes. They help authorities check roads, see if there is enough demand, and determine whether introducing such services is possible. Safety on the tracks, road quality, availability of pit stops, and regular travel times are being checked by officials to guarantee efficiency and reliability.
As the information stands, the roads given priority will be direct routes from Bhagalpur to Patna, Ranchi, and Dhanbad. Bihar State Road Transportation is planning to start direct buses from Bhagalpur to important cities such as Deoghar, Dumka, Sahibganj, Pakur, Rampurhat, Raniganj, Durgapur, and Asansol. To connect the main commerce, education, and religious sites in both states, these routes are being carefully planned to improve the travel experience.
Jharkhand-Bengal Bus Service (Direct from Bhagalpur to Cities)
The Transport Department has stated that the BSRTC has already approved the purchase of 24 brand-new buses for the Bhagalpur Division. Out of these, staff and coaches will be there solely for providing interstate services. All these buses will have current features that keep passengers safe, comfortable, and ensure bus fares are reasonable.
For many years, the majority of Bhagalpur’s residents have used private bus services or followed their own methods to get to other towns. When it comes to Bhagalpur to Deoghar or Bhagalpur to Durgapur routes, private operators such as Kohinoor Travels, Rugby Roadways are mostly in power. Even so, these services have some shortcomings, such as changes in fares, irregular schedules, and not much accountability. The price of tickets for Bhagalpur to Deoghar varies from ₹550 to ₹1580 based on the bus type, how many seats are available, and when you make your booking.
The introduction of the Jharkhand-Bengal bus service in the region will probably:
- Set regular prices so that the process is more open.
- All services are on time and follow the government rules.
- Offer special ways to travel that are safe for women and elderly people.
- Prevent issues caused by overdependence on outsourced transport.
Also, constant travel by business folks and logistics companies between Bihar, Jharkhand, and Bengal makes them likely to enjoy improved cargo handling, more frequent departure times, and better coordination between places. Most reactions to the news have been enthusiastic, both within social media and in the local area. Those who commute to Durgapur and Asansol for engineering and medical coaching were happy to find a more secure and cost-effective way. People who visit the Baba Baidyanath Dham Temple regularly praised the decision, as many pilgrims come for the Shravan Mela every year.
