# Bihar-Delhi bus service to start from Anand Vihar, 18 routes planned 2026-11-15T00:46:42+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Outlets counted: amarujala.com, bhaskar.com The Bihar government has announced that Bihar State Road Transport Corporation (BSRTC) buses will now operate from Delhi's Anand Vihar bus terminal, ending the need for passengers to alight at Gurugram. Transport Minister Damodar Rawat said the facility is being introduced immediately for the Chhath festival. Buses will connect Delhi with five Bihar divisions: Patna, Muzaffarpur, Purnia, Gaya, and Darbhanga. Both state governments have agreed to a joint initiative to make the service regular. Bhaskar reports that buses will run on 18 inter-state routes, with each state getting a permit quota of 12 buses per route. The service will also operate during major festivals like Holi and Prakash Parv. Only BS-6, CNG, and electric buses will be used, equipped with GPS tracking and emergency buttons. Aaj Tak reports that from Patna, 1,000 buses are already operating from two hubs for other districts. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both Amar Ujala and Bhaskar provide neutral, straight reporting on the new bus service between Bihar and Delhi. The coverage is uniform, with Bhaskar adding more operational details like the 18 routes, permit quotas, and the use of BS-6, CNG, and electric buses with GPS tracking. Neither source criticises or praises the government, both simply report the announcement by Transport Minister Damodar Rawat. The only difference is depth: Bhaskar includes additional context about special services for festivals and the two bus hubs in Patna. The balanced reading confirms the story is a routine government service launch with no political framing. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - amarujala.com (neutral report) Straight reporting on the bus service launch, no framing slant. - bhaskar.com (neutral report) Factual expansion with route details and safety features, no slant.
