Yogesh further added that these city buses are operating on two routes, one among them is from Rampura Circle to Dabok Circle which has a stretch of 26 km.

In the memorandum, the operators emphasized that existing rates of public transport must be revised with 25% additions. Other demands included establishing a permanent counter at Delhi Gate so that one can avail monthly passes. Moreover, UMC (Udaipur Municipal Corporation) must also make arrangements for bus stops and waiting area for passengers.
