For the past four years, Capital Region Urban Transport (CRUT) has provided Mo Bus service in Odisha’s Capital Region which includes Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Khordha, Pipili, Puri, and Konark. This has drastically eased the daily commuting needs of the citizens and for many, Mo Bus has become the most preferred mode of transportation.
After becoming the mobility lifeline for the people of the Capital Region of Odisha, in view of the overwhelming support and love of the public, CRUT expanded its Mo Bus service in Rourkela. Mo Bus launched its services in Rourkela on 5th January, 2023 with 25 Non AC Buses and 5 AC buses in the 1st phase and has plans to increase the total number to 100 buses in the coming months.
CRUT envisions to promote cashless commuting experience in its Mo Bus service in Rourkela through its Mo Bus Card – tap and pay. There will also be provision for purchase of online tickets, live tracking and other online services from the App. These initiatives would ensure the commuters to have a hassle-free and well-informed journey.
