# Haryana Roadways to launch app, recruit 700 conductors 2026-08-19T19:54:56+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Haryana Roadways will launch a passenger mobile app within a month, transport minister Anil Vij announced on Tuesday after chairing a department review meeting. The app will be available on Android and iOS in Hindi, English and Punjabi, allowing passengers to track buses live via GPS, check fares and expected arrival times, and access stoppage and scheme information through digital QR codes or cards. Vij ordered GPS installation in all Haryana Roadways buses and digital display boards at every bus stand showing timings and destinations. Control centres will record arrival and departure details and enforce automated accountability if a bus misses its designated stand. The department will also recruit 700 conductors against vacancies created after promotions, and is manufacturing 125 ordinary bus bodies through Haryana Roadways Engineering Corporation. Under the state's green mobility push, 500 electric buses will be procured. Vij directed officials to crack down on unauthorised food vendors and explore setting up a transport corporation on the lines of IRCTC to ensure hygienic food at fixed prices. "Anil Vij will not allow people to be sold poison in the name of food and beverages," he said. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Haryana Roadways runs over 3,800 buses and carries roughly 10 lakh passengers daily. The conductor vacancies suggest chronic understaffing, which often leads to cancelled trips. GPS tracking has been promised before but rollout was patchy. The digital accountability system, if implemented, would be a first for a state road transport undertaking. The real test will be whether the app and GPS work reliably on the ground. The next milestone is the app launch within a month. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Leads with minister's announcement, reports plans and quotes without evaluative language.
