Nagpur: In a major step toward improving urban mobility, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation’s Aapli Bus service has deployed six additional buses on Route No. 87, creating the first-ever direct public transport link between Waddhamna (Amravati Road) and Wanadongri (Hingna Road). The expanded service became operational on 2 February 2026, with the first bus starting at 7:00 AM from Morbhavan Aapli Bus Terminal and operating at 30-minute intervals until 7:30 PM.
First Direct Connectivity Between Two Major Corridors
This upgrade bridges a long-standing gap for daily commuters, offering seamless travel between:
- Amravati Road (Waddhamna region)
- Hingna Road (Wanadongri region)
For the first time, residents, students, and working professionals in these areas can rely on a direct, efficient, and affordable public transit option without needing multiple transfers.
Improved Frequency for Hassle-Free Commuting
The buses on Route 87 will now operate:
- From 07:00 AM to 07:30 PM
- With a 30-minute frequency throughout the day
This consistent schedule ensures smoother travel patterns, reduced waiting time, and enhanced accessibility for suburban and city commuters.
Better Access to Key Destinations
The new buses will significantly benefit those traveling to:
- Educational institutions
- Schools and colleges
- Hospitals and clinics
- Employment and industrial hubs
- Marketplaces along the Amravati–Hingna stretch
This makes everyday travel more convenient for thousands of city residents.
Boost to Public Transport Infrastructure
The expansion is part of Aapli Bus’s ongoing efforts to:
- Strengthen Nagpur’s public transportation network
- Enhance last-mile connectivity
- Reduce traffic congestion on major roads
- Encourage citizens to shift from personal vehicles to safe, reliable and affordable city buses
NMC officials said the initiative aligns with the city’s broader mobility goals, aimed at making Nagpur a more connected and commuter-friendly metro.
A Step Toward Smarter Urban Mobility
With the introduction of these six new buses and revised route operations, Aapli Bus continues to demonstrate its commitment to improving the daily travel experience for Nagpurians and supporting sustainable transport solutions.
