Mo Bus Service To Resume On These Routes In Bhubaneswar & Cuttack From Tomorrow

Bhubaneswar: The Capital Region Urban Transport has decided to resume Mo Bus service from Tuesday (May 26).

“Initially, non-AC buses will ply on seven routes of Capital Region from 7 am to 7 pm,” General Manager, CRUT, Dipti Mahapatro informed.

More buses and routes will be added in the coming days, she said.

The buses will operate on the following routes:

 

“No passenger will be allowed to stand in the moving bus. All the crew members have been instructed not to allow the passengers to board the buses in which all the seats are occupied,” she said.

She further said mask is compulsory for all the passengers. “No mask, no entry. We appeal to all the commuters to take precautions while they commute in Mo Bus. They are requested to carry sanitizers as well,” she said.

Passengers have also been requested to tender exact change to purchase ticket in order to minimise cash transaction. “In the present scenario, it is imperative to use contactless method over cash to avoid human-to-human contact. We intend to digitise the commute in the near future. Soon we will introduce QR code and tap and pay card to facilitate cashless transaction. This will allow a hassle-free and risk-free travel for the commuter in the times of COVID-19,” she said.

Mahapatra said that cleanliness and hygiene of each and every bus will be verified by depot managers before they start their journey for the day. “Mo Bus are being cleaned daily on the spots prone to spread a virus like seats, support poles, door handles, arm rest and bar handles with an alcohol-based disinfectants,” she added.
