The department has also set up a toll-free helpline number, 1800-345-7251, to assist travelers with queries regarding timing and availability.

Safety remains a top priority for this initiative. All buses operate under a strict Public-Private Partnership model where vehicles undergo mandatory fitness and pollution checks.
