Will the new BJP administration in Odisha rename “Mo Bus” to “Ama Bus” following the “Make in Odisha” conference and LAccMI. The word “Mo” (My), according to Housing and Urban Development Minister Krushna Chandra Mohapatra, sounds haughty. “Although there has been no decision in this regard, changing the name is not a huge deal and is unlikely to have an influence. He declined to acknowledge the name change, adding instead, “As we have been saying, this is ama (our) government and we have to jointly work for the progress of the state.”
The minister had earlier in the day purchased a ticket and taken the “Mo Bus” from Master Canteen to Press Square in order to gain insight into the “problems of people and what they want.” “They are content with the safe, eco-friendly, and easy ways to commute. However, during rush hour, these buses become packed, which is why they want more buses to operate during certain times. Increasing the number of buses will depend on how many people require them. We are monitoring the issue across multiple locations. Wherever needed, the bus service will be offered, he stated.
Earlier that day, the minister had bought a ticket and traveled to Press Square on the “Mo Bus” from Master Canteen to acquire insight into the “problems of people and what they want.” “They are happy with the simple, safe, and environmentally responsible modes of transportation. But these buses get crowded during rush hour, which is why they want more buses to run at specific times. The quantity of individuals who need buses will determine how many more are needed. We have several locations under observation for the problem. The bus service would be provided wherever it is needed, he said.
Notably, Mukhyamantri Bus Seva, or Chief Minister Bus Service, is the new name the government has chosen for the Location Accessible Multi-Modal Initiative (LAccMI) bus service.The buses, which were formerly green, have also been painted orange, as seen on Tuesday at the Dhenkanal bus stop.
