Buses reduce crowds

In many states including Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, West Bengal, a large number of people of Bihar live due to work. Every year Dussehra itself starts growing at home, which becomes wild during Diwali and Chhath. At this time, it becomes very difficult to get tickets in trains and those who have tickets also have to travel amid huge crowd and inconvenience. In such a situation, this bus service of BSRTC can reduce the burden of passengers to some extent. However, the number of migrants is so large that how many people this service will be able to give relief, it is difficult to say.
