Ahmedabad Feeder Buses Improve Metro Connectivity and Cut Travel Time
Ahmedabad has started special buses to help people reach Metro stations more easily.
These buses connect Apparel Park Metro Station with nearby neighborhoods.
They also travel toward places such as Maninagar and LG Hospital.
There are two routes, one circular and one anti-circular.
Passengers can signal the bus to stop and board it.
Adults pay Rs 5, while children pay Rs 3.
The buses run every 40 to 45 minutes.
Officials say the service saves time and money and may encourage people to leave their personal vehicles at home.
AMTS launched circular and anti-circular feeder routes linking Apparel Park Metro Station with nearby areas.
The routes serve commuters traveling toward Maninagar, LG Hospital, Hatkeshwar and surrounding neighborhoods.
Passengers can reportedly board the buses by signaling the driver, without needing a designated bus stop.
Fares are Rs 5 for adults and Rs 3 for children.
The two routes operate 32 daily trips, with buses running every 40 to 45 minutes.
