In preparation for the festive season, Nagpur’s Aapli Bus service has announced the introduction of special festival routes starting October 10, 2025. These additional services will cater to the surge in passenger traffic during Navratri and Dussehra, ensuring smooth and convenient travel to major temples, fairgrounds, and shopping areas. The Nagpur Smart and Sustainable City Development Corporation Limited (NSSCDCL), which operates Aapli Bus, confirmed that extended evening operations and increased frequency will be implemented on popular routes connecting Sitabuldi, Koradi, and Sakkardara. Festival-specific bus operations have become a recurring feature in the city’s transport plan over recent years. Similar arrangements were made during Diwali 2023 and Ganesh Chaturthi 2024, when Aapli Bus deployed additional fleets to manage crowds and reduce private vehicle congestion. Those earlier measures received strong public response, helping to ease traffic pressure and promote the use of public transport during peak festivities. Officials have also stated that safety and cleanliness will be prioritized throughout the service period. Special maintenance checks are being conducted on buses, and additional staff will be on duty to handle increased ridership. The initiative aligns with Nagpur’s larger goal of promoting eco-friendly mobility and reducing vehicular emissions during crowded festive events. #AapliBus #NagpurTransport #FestivalSpecialService #Navratri2025 #Dussehra2025 #PublicTransport #EcoFriendlyTravel #NSSCDCL #NagpurNews #UrbanMobility
