CompaniesThe long-awaited Bhavnagar City EV Bus service is finally set to make a comeback after being absent for several years. Due to the lack of an organized city bus system, residents of Bhavnagar have been forced to rely heavily on auto-rickshaws, private two-wheelers, and four-wheelers for daily commuting, leading to increased traffic congestion, higher transportation costs, and environmental concerns.
In a major boost to urban public transport, the Government of India has approved the allocation of 100 electric buses for the Bhavnagar City bus service under the PM E-Mobility Scheme. This important development was officially confirmed by Bhavnagar Municipal Commissioner Narendra Meena.
Official Announcement: Launch of City Bus Service
The local administration has completed extensive preparations for the commencement of the city bus service. The inaugural phase is scheduled for February 14, covering eight primary routes.
The ceremony will be held in the virtual presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alongside Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Deputy CM Harsh Sanghavi.
Bhavnagar City Bus Time Table / Route Schedule
The wait is over! Following the successful pilot phase, the Bhavnagar Municipal Corporation (BMC) has officially launched the comprehensive EV city bus Route Schedule. What began as a plan for 17 tentative routes has now evolved into a fully operational public transit system designed to provide seamless connectivity across the city.
Transitioning from Planning to Performance
While our initial coverage focused on the anticipated corridors, the administration has now finalized the official routes. The service has successfully stabilized on the primary eight major roads, and as promised, the network has been expanded to include a wider range of urban and peri-urban feeders. This ensures that residents from the city center to the outskirts—including areas like Sidsar, Adhewada, and Budhelnow have access to affordable, reliable transport.
Future route expansions may include connections to major landmarks and integration with other transport links as demand grows
