Run the arithmetic before dismissing a bus: at ₹47/km across forty seats, each passenger costs ₹1.18 per kilometre — less than half the per-head rate of a 17-seater. For weddings, corporate movements and temple trusts moving thirty-plus people, this is the cheapest option in the fleet by a wide margin.
Good for
- Weddings and baraats
- Corporate movements
- Temple trust yatras
- School excursions
Not the right choice for
Anywhere inside the old city. A 40-seater does not enter Varanasi's inner lanes and needs a planned parking point — usually Godowlia, Maidagin or the hotel forecourt.
On board
