With the start of a circular bus service on the Sardar Patel Ring Road from Saturday, the residents may not have to go to the central or the satellite bus stations to catch a bus. According to a Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation (GSRTC) release, the buses will start from Sarkhej (Sanathal junction), and take clockwise and anticlockwise routes. The buses will stop at all junctions on the SP Ring Road and will be available on an hourly basis. GSRTC Secretary P D Patel said: “If the response is good, we plan to make it a 15-min frequency. The service was inaugurated without any formal function because the ministers and bureaucrats were busy with the Chintan Shibir in Kutch.” The circular route will cover all the 19 junctions on SP Ring Road to enable people reach the nearest destinations in either direction as shown in brackets: Sanathal (Sarkhej/Bavla), Shantipura (Sarkhej/ Sanand), Science City (Sola/Bhadaj), Vadsar (Ognaj/ Vadsar), Vaishnodevi (Sarkhej/ Gandhinagar), Jhundal (Ahmedabad/Mehsana), Sighad (Visat petrol pump/Gandhinagar), Bhat (Indira Bridge/Gandhinagar), Mehta Farm–Gamthi Garden (Nana Chiloda/Karai), Ranasan (Naroda/Chiloda cross), Kathwada (Naroda/Kathwada), Nikol (Nikol/Kathwada), Odhav Ring Road (Soni ni Chali/Kathlal), Karnavati Bungalows (Odhav Rajendra Park/Vastral Road), and others. The service starts at 7 am.
