A first fleet of City Buses was launched by Finance Minister Sashi Bhusan Behera for Balasore district on 15th August. In the first phase, 10 buses were launched under various routes, a few more will be added in the next phase, under Biju Gaon Gadi Yojna. This is a Odisha Government initiative on rural-urban connectivity. These City Buses for Balasore have been procured from State funds and will be operated by Dream Team Sahara (DTS), which has been running the JNNURM buses in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack since 2010. The launch marked the plying of two buses from Station Chhak in Balasore town to Soro while connecting Banka Khajuri Chhak on a daily basis. Similarly, 8 other buses will start plying in the region soon with the aim to achieve better connectivity between rural and urban areas.
