For last several years there is bus service between Haldia Institute of Technology (HIT) and Kukrahati jetty. Kukrahati is the entry path to Haldia if one wants to come through Raichak - Kukrahati vessel or Diamond Harbour - Kukrahati ferry service through the Hooghly river (or more popularly, river Ganges). Many people from South Kolkata or southern suburban area of Kolkata avails this route for journey to and from Haldia. There is also much more but time consuming frequest bus service between Haldia Township - Kukrahati (via Balughata, Brajalalchak, BC Roy Hospital), and Haldia - Kukrahati Bus (via Durgachak, Ranichak, Hatiberia). The timing of HIT-Kukrahati bus is as follows:- from Kukrahati: 7:25, 9:25, 11:25, 14:25, 16:25, and from HIT the timing is 8:10, 10:10, 13:10, 15:10, and 17:10. This route avoids the busy market strech of Durgachak. It will be immense helpful if the frequency of buses in this route is increased. Since only one bus provides this service, if for any reason the bus is out of road, the entire service goes off.

ReplyDeleteThere are two bus routes for Haldia from Kukrahati. I am not sure, if Kukrahati-HIT bus route is operating now. Other two routes are: Kukrahati- Chaitanyapur, Sutahata-Manjushree-Durgachak-Ranichak-Hatiberia-Haldia Township, second one is Kukrahati-Chaitanyapur-Brajalalchak, Balughata, B C Roy Hospital, Haldia Township. First route takes about 1 hour 30 minutes, and second route takes about 1 hour 15 minutes.
