Bus Service Ensures Smooth Durga Puja Commute In Kolkata

On this Durga Puja, an all-night bus service will be a blessing for devotees. Say goodbye to worries about commuting to the Durga puja pandals 2023 . With eight routes starting from Howrah and Sealdah stations, buses will operate all night long. You can easily tour the major pandals in the city. Both AC and non-AC buses will be available for your convenience.



The Transport Department has revealed that the service will commence from Chaturthi and run from the early morning. It will continue until midnight at 12:00 AM on Dashami. Even though government offices will remain closed, private companies and shops will be open during these two days. Therefore, buses and trams will be in operation from the morning onward, and the service will expand in the afternoon.

Bus operators have reassured us that the all-night bus service during Durga Puja is a regular practice, and this year will be no different. They have explained that the government has enforced a no-entry rule on specific roads, allowing only authorised buses to ply the routes. This measure was taken to streamline traffic flow during the festival.

Not to forget, even government buses have dressed up for the occasion with new blue-and-white paint. Passengers can board these freshly adorned government buses, making their journey more vibrant and festive.

The transport minister mentioned that the changes are not only limited to the new look but also include addressing the issues faced by passengers in the past. All these improvements aim to provide a seamless and comfortable experience for commuters during the Durga Puja celebrations.
