Jeevan Jeeth, with two buses carrying 2000 passengers daily, saw a significant increase in the number of passengers on January 22. Passengers expressed gratitude to the bus conductors and drivers for this complimentary service.

According to Haneef and Manoj, the conductor and driver of the Jeevan Jeeth bus, ticket were not collected from passengers following the owner’s instruction to provide free service. The response was tremendous, with a significant number of passengers traveling throughout the day.

Ganesh and Hemanth, the driver and conductor of the 13c Golden Travels, stated that they voluntarily decided to offer free service as a contribution since they couldn’t directly participate in the construction of the Ayodhya temple.

Passengers appreciated their gesture, and the duo received blessings for their noble act.
