The routes have been prepared and sent. He said that apart from Volvo buses, sleeper buses will also be run. These will include six AC sleeper buses and the rest will be non-AC sleeper buses. The tender process is going on at the headquarters level.

According to the officials, the route chart has been prepared but the fare has not been decided. It is informed that once the buses are received, the fares will be finalised.
Ordinary buses are available from Morna depot till 10 pm, but as of new initiative if 10 or more passengers reach the depot late night, then they will get the bus.
According to the officials, the AC buses will run for Haridwar, Rishikesh, Bareilly, Dehradun, Varanasi, Prayagraj, Kanpur, Ayodhya, Jaipur, Lucknow and Chandigarh.
While the sleeper buses will run from Noida to Lucknow, Ayodhya and Prayagraj.
