Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], September 11 : Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has announced that the 'Mukhyamantri Sugam Parivahan Bus Seva' (Chief Minister's Accessible Transport Bus Service) will be auspiciously launched in Madhya Pradesh on September 25.
While addressing the inaugural session of the 'Passenger Transport Vision Summit-2026 ’, organised under the 'Mukhyamantri Sugam Parivahan Seva' at the Brilliant Convention Centre in Indore, he stated that the government's goal is to provide citizens with an accessible, convenient, safe, modern, and reliable bus service, and the launch on September 25 marks a new step towards achieving this objective, according to a press release.
Yadav noted that Madhya Pradesh boasts a road network spanning 5 lakh kilometres and offers the potential to operate over 15,000 buses. Beyond the state's residents, millions of tourists and pilgrims who visit annually also rely on bus services for travel; this presents both a challenge and a significant opportunity for the state.
He urged private bus operators, bus manufacturers, industry partners, and stakeholders to recognise the growing opportunities in Madhya Pradesh amidst changing times and to collaborate with the government in the state's development journey. He called for the creation of a premier public transport model in the state: one that serves as an example for the entire nation, the release said.
