HRTC has issued orders asking all Volvos with staff to be sent to Shimla, Palampur and Kullu. HRTC currently has around 100 Volvo buses, while 11 more Volvo buses are going to be added to the HRTC fleet. There are many depots across the state from where only one or two Volvo buses of HRTC ply. Maintenance staff is not available with HRTC in these depots. For maintenance one has to go to Shimla Kullu or Palampur. In such a situation, HRTC has decided that Volvo will have only three working stations across the state. Buses will be run from here on rotation basis, so that other routes of HRTC are not affected. It is being told that like the Volvo bus plying from Shimla to Sarkaghat will be run from Shimla. First HRTC bus will go on Shimla-Delhi route from here. From there Sarkaghat and from Sarkaghat back to Delhi and then from Delhi to Shimla. Similarly, by making a similar rotation at other places, Volvo will reach its depot.
