out of which around 20% are nationalized. These nationalized routes are
being covered by over 7000 public transport buses operated by the state
owned UP State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC)).
The remaining road length is covered by about 16000 private transport
buses, along with maxi-cabs and motor-cabs, which constitute the
backbone of the passenger road transport services in the state.
