According to the information, the number of buses for Delhi will be increased between March 22 and April 3.

More than five thousand passengers will get relief from the buses run from Hathras depot to Delhi. If we look at the figures of the past years, on an average 60 passengers travel in 40 buses. In this way, about 2600 passengers travel in 40 buses. If seen from both sides, this figure will reach more than five thousand passengers in 10 days.
