The buses will be operated in the routes – Ratna Park-Kalanki, Ratna Park-Bansbari, Ratna Park-Jorpati, Ratna Park-Singamangal- Koteshwor, Ratna Park-Saatdobato and the Ring Road.
As per the plan, two buses will be operated in each route while four buses will run around Ring Road – Koteshwor to Chakrapath and Kalanki to Chakrapath.
