YoloBus starts new Gwalior-Lucknow Services
YoloBus launches two new luxury bus services connecting Gwalior and Lucknow. The new routes aim to bridge a long-standing transportation gap between the two cities. The buses are operating daily with the following departure times: Gwalior to Lucknow: 11:00 AM and 09:00 PM and Lucknow to Gwalior: 11:30 AM and 08:30 PM Historically, Gwalior and Lucknow have been connected by only a single train service, often marked by poor availability and erratic punctuality. With the introduction of YoloBus services, passengers will now experience safe, reliable, and comfortable journeys backed by technology-driven operations. The launch holds personal significance for Sanjay Jadoun, CEO of YoloBus, a native of Gwalior. "Growing up here, I have personally seen the difficulties travelers faced. With YoloBus, we are committed to solving this mobility challenge by providing a superior and dependable travel option," said Jadoun. This launch marks another major step in YoloBus's aggressive expansion into Madhya Pradesh, following the recent win of the Sagar Electric Bus Project. YoloBus operates across both North and South India, redefining intercity travel through innovation, luxury, and a commitment to excellence.
