Vehicles on the roads equal to the population of the city, to transport the public on public transport.
The expansion and population of the city is continuously increasing, but in this regard, public transport is not yet available. In view of this, now the city transport company AICTSL and the administration will increase public transport. AICTSL, which is running at a loss of around Rs 45 crore, has prepared a plan to increase the number of buses, depots and three intercity terminals. In the coming time, city buses will be started on 25 new routes within a radius of 242 km. These will be those routes in the city where there is currently a shortage or non-existence of public transport. Apart from this, 600 new bus stops will be built. Jinsi, Teen Imli and Gangwal bus stands will be developed as intercity terminals. Apart from this, the operation of intercity buses from Geeta Bhawan will be stopped and shifted to ISBT of Kumedi.
The population of the city has reached 35 lakhs. Currently, 31 lakh vehicles are running on the city roads every day. Two Inter State Bus Stands (ISBT) are ready in the city.

Two bus depots will be built under the Pradhan Mantri e-Bus service
