Gurgaon: The Gurugram Metropolitan Metropolis Bus Restricted (GMCBL) has merged two bus routes within the metropolis – a primary such transfer to rationalise its already depleted fleet – officers stated on Friday.
The routes to be merged are 127 (Huda Metropolis Centre metro station and Sector 107) and 116E (Huda Metropolis Centre metro station and Gurgaon railway station). With the merger, the buses will run twice (to and from) on the 127 route within the mornings and evenings every. For the remainder of the day, they are going to observe route 116E.The choice was taken because the alignment of the 2 routes was nearly equivalent from the metro station to the railway station.
Route 127 has simply two extra stops (Sector 29, and Sector 29 police station) over 116E alongside this passage. After the railway station, 127 covers 9 extra stops corresponding to Rajendra Park, Daultabad village and Dharmpur Chowk earlier than culminating in Sector 107. Officers instructed TOI it “made sense” to merge the routes as footfall was low. GMCBL has a fleet of 200 buses however 50 of those are presently working in Faridabad.
