New City Bus Service Launched in Vijayawada
A new bus service called 48I has started in Vijayawada.
It connects the city bus terminal to a place called Indlas Shantivan, which is a center for helping people with addictions and mental health issues.
The bus service was started because the chairman of Indlas Shantivan asked the local leader, MLA Yarlagadda Venkat Rao, for help.
The MLA talked to the bus company, APSRTC, and they made this new bus route.
There is also another bus, 49M, that has been extended to go to Shantivan.
The bus will run in the morning and evening, helping patients, residents, and students who need to travel to and from Nunna.
People in the area are happy because it makes it easier for them to get around.
The bus service was welcomed by local leaders and villagers, who thanked everyone involved for making this happen.
