Introduction of New Bus Service

In a significant development for devotees traveling from Delhi to Salasar and Khatushyamji Dham, Rajasthan Roadways has announced the launch of a new direct bus service. This route, closely linked to religious tourism, is expected to benefit thousands of pilgrims. The air-conditioned bus service, featuring two-by-two seating, is set to commence in the first week of December.


Benefits for Regular Travelers

This new service will provide considerable relief to pilgrims and daily commuters traveling between Delhi and Salasar. Additionally, a new bus will be introduced from the depot to Bhadara. Notably, students from schools and colleges in the Shekhawati and Hanumangarh regions, along with working professionals and residents from rural areas, frequently travel this route. The introduction of this bus will strengthen rural transportation and offer direct travel options for long-distance passengers.


Route Details

The fare for the air-conditioned bus from Sikar to Delhi has been set at ₹715 per passenger. The bus will depart from the Sikar bus depot at 8:45 AM, first heading to Salasar. After that, it will travel from Salasar to Sikar, then to Pattan and Kotputli, arriving in Delhi by 6 PM. The return journey will start the next day at 8:30 AM, following the same route back to Salasar by 6 PM.


Enhanced Services on the Sikar-Jaipur Route

The Sikar-Jaipur route is one of the busiest, with thousands of passengers traveling daily. In response to the increasing demand, Roadways has proposed to add more buses on this route. The addition of new buses will facilitate timely commutes for office-goers, students, and individuals in the industrial sector, while also reducing congestion on existing buses.


Boost to Religious Tourism

With the new bus service, devotees from the Delhi NCR region will enjoy direct access to Salasar Dham. This is expected to increase the number of visitors to the site, providing a direct benefit to the local economy. The convenience of a non-stop journey to Delhi will offer a safe and economical option for pilgrims attending the Salasar fair, thereby invigorating religious tourism.


Increased Passenger Convenience

The launch of this new bus service will greatly benefit thousands of travelers from Sikar to Salasar, Jaipur, Bhadara, and surrounding areas. The availability of more buses on these new routes will enhance passenger convenience and reduce waiting times for travelers.
