Mayabunder: For residents of Mayabunder struggling with inadequate local transport, particularly senior citizens and patients, relief is finally set to arrive on wheels.
The State Transport Service (STS) has introduced a new shuttle bus service on Route No. 11 from September 1, 2026, connecting Mayabunder with the DC Office via R.P. Hospital. The much-needed service has been introduced following a long-pending demand for better local public transport connectivity in the region. It is expected to benefit senior citizens, patients, office-goers and members of the general public travelling to key public facilities.
According to an information, the shuttle will operate on a temporary schedule during both morning and evening hours. In the morning, buses will leave Mayabunder at 9 AM, 10 AM and 11 AM, while return services from the DC Office will operate at 9:30 AM, 10:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Evening services from Mayabunder will depart at 2:30 PM, 3:30 PM and 4:30 PM, with return trips from the DC Office scheduled at 3 PM, 4 PM and 5:15 PM.
The introduction of the Route No. 11 shuttle comes as a major relief for residents who have long faced difficulties in reaching R.P. Hospital and government offices due to inadequate local transport facilities. With the new shuttle now bridging some of Mayabunder’s most important public destinations, residents hope the service will provide much-needed convenience—and eventually pave the way for stronger and more reliable local connectivity.
