Jaipur | July 11, 2025
There’s good news for Jaipur residents—especially those tired of daily traffic jams. Starting August 1, 2025, both private and state-run (RSRTC) buses will operate together from the newly developed Heerapura Bus Terminal on Ajmer Road. This will be the first bus terminal in Rajasthan where both categories of buses run under the same roof, aiming to streamline urban transport and reduce traffic congestion.
Why is this change important?
Until now, private buses and RSRTC buses in Jaipur operated from different locations, causing severe congestion in areas like Sindhi Camp, Narayan Singh Circle, and stretches along Ajmer Road. With the Heerapura terminal becoming operational, these buses will now run from a single, organized location—helping ease traffic pressure in the city’s central zones.
What to expect at the new terminal?
The Heerapura terminal will feature:
- Ticket booking counters
- Trained staff for assistance
- Clean waiting areas and passenger seating
- Easy access through autos, minibuses, and local transport services
In its initial phase, the terminal will handle over 50 private buses and nearly 25% of RSRTC’s fleet, covering popular routes including Ajmer, Udaipur, Kota, Jodhpur, and Bikaner.
What do people say?
Locals and commuters have welcomed the move with optimism.
Rajesh Sharma, a resident of Ajmer Road, shared:
“We’ve been dealing with constant traffic jams for years. If this plan works, Jaipur will finally see smoother roads.”
Mohan Lal, a private bus operator, said:
“We did face some logistical issues in the beginning, but now the government seems well-prepared. This centralized system will bring more order to operations.”
Government gears up
The Transport Department, along with JCTSL and Rajasthan Roadways, is actively coordinating to ensure the terminal’s smooth launch. Bus schedules are being finalized, and the city’s local connectivity options—like autos and e-rickshaws—are being aligned to support easy access to the terminal.
In Summary
The Heerapura Bus Terminal is not just another infrastructure project—it’s a strategic move to make Jaipur’s traffic more manageable and travel more convenient. With both private and public buses operating from the same location, the city takes a significant step toward a cleaner, better-organized, and commuter-friendly transport system.
