Advance ticket booking for Dasain will be opened at the end of August. This time, since Dasain is early, discussions have been started between the relevant agencies to open booking accordingly, according to the Department of Transport Management. Narahari Tiwari, director of the department, said that preparations are being made to open advance bookings seven days before the commencement of Ghatasthapana.

"On Monday, there was a discussion in the department about opening advance ticket booking in the presence of traffic police, transport businessmen and other concerned agencies," he said, "According to the discussion, preparations have been made to open it one week before the reduction." What is the condition of the road, what is the number of vehicles? ,' he said, 'There has been a preliminary discussion on how to manage online booking.'

He said that how to stop the bias in online tickets and how to make it passenger-friendly will be discussed and decided at the next stage. Then the car fare does not increase during the festival, right? In response to the question, he said - 'There is no such preparation yet.'   

Vijay Swar, President of the National Federation of Nepal Transport Professionals, said that all agencies should fulfill their respective responsibilities during Dasain. "The federation is clear in Chadbad," he said, "Whoever is going to do anything, should take responsibility and complete it accordingly." He said that the road department should make the road easier, the transport department and businessmen should fulfill their responsibility. 

"When the festival comes, the matter of car rental comes up, whatever decision is made by the department," he said, "but we are ready to take the passengers to their homes during the festival, for that the road must be smooth."

'Ticket bookings should be opened practically one week before after all-party discussion, this time will be the same,' he said, 'Traveller help desks should also be placed accordingly to facilitate the passengers.'

Similarly, the transport businessmen said that route permits for vehicles should also be opened accordingly. Last year, advance ticket booking was opened from the 19th two days after the reduction. But the route permit was opened from Ghatasthapana to Purnima. After the route permit is opened, vehicles traveling anywhere in the country or anywhere in the country will be able to reach any district or place carrying passengers. During Dasain, about two million citizens leave Kathmandu Valley.
