Ward 11 Industrial Area: a late-night bus link starts for factory shifts

Factory owners helped fund the service for six months. Fare is INR 15 (demo).

Route 12 will stop at six factory gates and the railway station. A card tap costs 15 rupees (demo), and workers get a monthly pass for 350.

The service is a six-month pilot. The union says it will review ridership in February.

This is a demo story: every name, place, organisation and figure in it is fictional.
