Double-decker to reappear in Gujarat with Bhavnagar debut

BHAVNAGAR: Now, one won't have to go all the way to Mumbai for a 

double-decker bus ride. Come January, double-decker buses will cruise

through Bhavnagar, thanks to VITCOS Transportation Pvt Ltd, a

city bus service provider in Bhavnagar Municipal Corporation. 

"We have ordered two new doubledecker buses and hope to run them on

the city roads from December end," said Haresh Dodiya,

VITCOS chairman. At present, the firm runs city bus services in

Gandhinagar, Anand,Baroda and Bhavnagar. 

Dodiya says the idea behind introducing double-decker buses in a

comparatively small city is to do something innovative about public

transport. "On the one hand, we will be able to transport more people

in a single trip and on the other, people will get a new choice in the city

bus services," said Dodiya, who hails from Bhavnagar. "It will help us

reduce pollution as well." 

"We conducted a random survey on double-decker buses and commuters'

response was overwhelming," he said. The two double-decker buses will

run from Gangajaliya Talav to Bharatnagar and from Gangajaliya Talav

to Kaliyabid area route; they are the busiest stretches in the city. VITCOS

officials said that the buses will cost Rs 35 lakh each and will have a seating

capacity of 70. 

At present, VITCOS runs 65 city buses in Bhavnagar and 15 new low-floor

semiluxury buses will be shortly introduced.
