Bhopal's Public Transport Struggles: E-Rickshaws Rise as Buses Decline

Bhopal's Public Transport Struggles: E-Rickshaws Rise as Buses Decline

Buses in Bhopal are not running as often as they used to, causing problems for people who need to get around.

The bus service used to have many routes, but now only six are active.

This means people have to wait a long time for a bus.

Fewer people are riding the buses because they are unreliable.

Because the buses aren't running well, more people are using small electric vehicles called e-rickshaws to get around.

The company that used to run the buses had a disagreement about money, which led to some buses being stopped.

The city is trying to fix the problem, but it's taking time.
