For this year's Dasain, the advance ticket booking will not be opened. Even if the booking is not open due to the harsh situation in the country, the transport professionals have said that they will not let the passengers have a shortage of tickets and buses.
Businessmen claim that more than 50,000 passengers have left the new bus park at Gongbu in the last few days. Due to the closure of the government campus, there has been an increase in the number of travelers leaving the valley and going east-west.
President of the National Federation of Nepal Transport Businessmen Vijay Swaran said that there is no need to open advance ticket bookings for Dasain. "Many passengers have already left, around 50,000 passengers have left Gongbu Bus Park for Dasain," he said, "There is no need to open a separate special counter." Saroj Sitaula, Senior Vice President of the National Federation of Nepal Transport Professionals, said that the issue of road safety was mainly raised in the discussion.
"The problem has started again in the Narayangadh-Butwal road," he said.
Sitaula said that the number of passengers in the new bus park is like the day of Dasain Phoolpati. Passengers and drivers should be guaranteed safety. The government should create an environment where vehicles can run smoothly, he said. He said that due to the current situation in the country, advance ticket booking will not be opened this time, but arrangements will be made to take ticket bookings based on the number of vehicles arriving in Kathmandu in two-three days during Dasain.
It has been decided to open the route permit so that it can run all over the country through the downsizing of the Transport Management Department. Any vehicle can carry passengers anywhere in the country. Sitaula said that it was decided to open the route permit till October 22. He said that passengers can go to the passenger assistance room near the counter and complain if someone cheats them on the ticket or if they don't get the vehicle despite having a ticket. Where the department staff and the police will be.
Narahari Tiwari, Deputy Director General of Transport Management Department, said that within a few days, passenger assistance rooms will be established at places where there is a rush of passengers and ticket counters. Director General of Roads Department Vijay Jaisi says that there will be no problem in the road infrastructure for Dasain.
