HRTC is going to start Volvo bus service soon to Tapri, a famous tourist destination in Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. However, HRTC has already conducted a trial last year to run Volvo buses on this route and this trial has also been successful. This Volvo bus will go from Tapri to Chandigarh. At present, HRTC’s Volvo bus is plying on the Delhi-Shimla-Rampur route. Rampur to Tapri is about 67 kilometers away.
Horticulture Minister Jagat Singh Negi will flag off the buses plying from Tapri to Chandigarh. It is being told that HRTC has sought time from the Deputy CM and Horticulture Minister to flag off the buses on this routes. It is noteworthy that in the past, the Deputy CM flagged off 11 new Volvo buses. Eleven Volvo buses were dispatched to four Taradevi units, five to Kullu and two to Dharamshala units. HRTC will operate buses from only three depots in the state and Volvo buses will be run on rotation basis. HRTC is going to operate Volvo from Shimla, Palampur and Kullu only.
