Gurugram: To drum up support for the expansion of the public transport system in both urban and rural areas of the state, the Haryana Roadways employees and their syndicates have embarked on a signature campaign.
During this three-day campaign, the employees - under the banner of a united front launched earlier this year - set up service desks at various public places across the state on Wednesday to garner support from local residents for their demands for the expansion of the state public transport fleet and improvement of the services offered to commuters.
According to the Roadways employees, the state needs around 14,000 buses based on the current population and demand. However, the Roadways currently has a fleet of 4,200 buses of which around 2,500 are operational at the moment. The bus fleet was reduced during Covid due to a sharp plunge in demand.
