The Bihar State Road Transport Corporation (BSRTC) has received 32 new high-tech deluxe buses in Patna on April 1, 2026. These buses are part of a larger fleet of 149 interstate buses planned to improve travel across state borders. These vehicles are manufactured by Tata Motors and are currently stationed in Patna awaiting registration and permit formalities from the transport department.

What are the safety features and facilities in these new buses?
Passenger safety is a major highlight of these new deluxe buses. Each bus is equipped with three CCTV cameras, where two are installed inside the cabin and one is at the rear. To handle emergencies, panic buttons have been provided for passengers to alert the staff immediately. The buses feature a comfortable 2×2 seating arrangement and are available in both AC and non-AC versions to cater to different passenger requirements.
When will these buses start running and on which routes?
The operation of these 32 buses is expected to begin in the first week of May 2026. These buses will primarily serve interstate routes connecting Bihar to Delhi and Haryana. Additionally, they will facilitate travel to various districts in North Bihar such as Darbhanga, Madhubani, Muzaffarpur, and Motihari. The remaining 117 buses of the planned fleet are expected to arrive in Patna within the next two months.

While the specific fare for these new deluxe buses is yet to be announced, the corporation is currently finalizing the rates. This follows a proposal sent in February 2026 to increase bus fares by up to 15 percent, which may affect the overall ticket prices starting from March 2026. The transport department will take about a month to complete the necessary paperwork before these buses hit the road for public use.
