The proposal for this plan has already been drafted, and after thorough discussions, suggestions, and agreement from all stakeholders, it will soon be presented to the Cabinet for approval. The announcement came during an initial high-level meeting held at Samatva Bhavan, Chief Minister's residence, to discuss the details of the new transportation service.

Detailed Insights on the New Transport Plan
Transport Secretary Manish Singh provided an in-depth overview of the new transport service plan. According to Singh, the new service will feature a three-tier monitoring system for passenger buses across the state. A state-level holding company will be established at the state capital, and seven regional subsidiary companies will be set up in the major divisions of the state: Bhopal, Indore, Jabalpur, Gwalior, Ujjain, Sagar, and Rewa. Additionally, district-level passenger transport committees will be formed in every district. These bodies will coordinate the operations of passenger transportation, set fare structures, design route charts, and guide the implementation of the plan to ensure that passengers receive the maximum benefit.
Singh also highlighted the revenue generation model for the seven regional subsidiary companies. Under the new plan, the government will prioritize granting permits to contracted buses, which will be directly controlled by the government. Furthermore, an app for passengers and a dashboard for monitoring operations will be introduced to improve accessibility and efficiency. A survey is currently underway to determine the required number of buses for these regional areas, and the results will be used to fine-tune the implementation process.
The new transport service plan is expected to benefit passengers the most, with special provisions for bus operators as well. These provisions aim to provide a better working environment and ensure continuous business for bus operators, preventing disruptions in services. This will not only help maintain smooth transport operations but also ensure that passengers do not face any inconvenience.
