The “Apni Bus–Rajasthan Roadways” service will operate on 357 routes under a revenue-sharing model, designed to improve last-mile connectivity and ensure affordable transport for rural commuters, according to the official statement.
Each bus under this service features deluxe seating, and passengers will continue to enjoy government concessions and free travel benefits available under the existing Rajasthan Roadways scheme.
The state government has introduced onboard catering services in Volvo, Scania, and AC buses, enabling passengers to receive meals at their seats with menus tailored for morning, afternoon, and evening journeys.
