I am from Indore and need to get an Indore to Bhopal charted bus. I would like to know what the ticket cost is for the Indore to Bhopal journey? Where do I get the chartered bus from in Indore?
Hello, @Rahini, welcome to the forum! Overview Both the cities of Indore and Bhopal are located in the state of Madhya Pradesh. They are quite apart though, with a distance of about 196 kilometres between them. If you choose to drive this distance, it can take around 3 hours and 30 minutes to reach Bhopal from Indore. Of course, if you choose public transportation, journey duration might be a bit more. Depending on the delays you encounter along the way, on average, you can reach Bhopal from Indore in about 4 hours via public transportation. In this guide, we're going to be focusing on the chartered buses operated by Chartered Speed, a private bus company operating in different cities in India, like Ahmedabad, Bhopal and Indore. Chartered Buses from Indore to Bhopal (Chartered Speed) The company operates 54 Volvo buses running between Indore and Bhopal. All their buses are multi-axle, air-conditioned ones with two seats on each side per row and five seats on the last row. These buses have two pick-up points from which you can board any of them. The main pick-up point is at the City Bus Depot, close to the AICTSL Campus. Ten minutes after, they also pick-up passengers from the Radisson Hotel Square.
