In preparation for the Rath Yatra 2025, transport authorities and private bus operators in Odisha are implementing a major expansion in intercity travel with a total of 800 buses slated to operate between Cuttack and Puri via Bhubaneswar, doubling the usual count of 400.
The move comes as lakhs of devotees are expected to travel to the coastal temple town on June 27 for the annual chariot festival.
According to The Times of India, the All Odisha Bus Owners' Association confirmed the deployment, citing the need to reduce overcrowding and ensure reliable, uninterrupted service from early morning through late night.
