Electric buses will connect religious cities in Uttar Pradesh, as the Yogi government rolls out a green mobility initiative linking destinations like Kashi, Ayodhya, and Prayagraj with eco-friendly, AC-equipped buses.
The Uttar Pradesh government, under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, is set to introduce electric AC buses to enhance connectivity between key religious cities in the state.
This initiative aims to provide eco-friendly and comfortable travel options for devotees visiting sacred sites.

In the first phase, electric buses will operate on routes connecting Gorakhpur to Varanasi, Ayodhya, and other nearby districts.
These buses will cover distances of up to 200 kilometers on a single charge, ensuring efficient travel for passengers. The fleet will include 52-seater AC buses equipped with modern amenities to ensure a comfortable journey.
Additionally, charging stations are being established in key locations such as Gorakhpur and Varanasi to support the operations of these electric buses.
This move aligns with the state’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable transportation solutions.
By integrating electric buses into the public transport system, the government aims to offer a greener alternative for pilgrims traveling between Uttar Pradesh’s prominent religious destinations.
