Yatri Sathi Launches 4 New Shuttle Routes Across Kolkata

Kolkata, August 2026 - App-based transit platform Yatri Sathi has announced a major expansion of its Shuttle service across Kolkata. The expansion introduces four brand-new routes alongside increased trip frequencies on existing operational corridors, connecting key residential zones across North and South Kolkata directly to major commercial and IT hubs in Sector V and New Town.

The initiative aims to build a reliable and sustainable shuttle ecosystem for both daily office-goers and shuttle operators. The primary goal is to provide passengers with consistent, comfortable public transport options while maintaining a sustainable operating model for shuttle owners to serve these corridors long-term.

Current vs. New Shuttle Routes

Yatri Sathi currently operates shuttle services on four primary routes:

Barrackpore to Sector V

Sreerampore to Sector V

Bally to Sector V

Sonarpur to New Town (via Sector V)

In the coming days, the network will be enhanced with four new routes:

Naihati to Sector V

Bijoygarh to New Town (via Sector V)

Ranikuthi to New Town (via Sector V)

Barasat to Sector V

These additions significantly expand shuttle coverage across North Kolkata, South Kolkata, and adjoining suburban areas, giving commuters expanded direct transit options to key workplace hubs.

Official Statement

"Our focus is not just to add routes, but to build a shuttle network that can operate reliably over the long term. We want to create a model that works for both customers and shuttle owners. As demand grows, we will continue adding trips and expanding to new corridors where we can create sustainable operations," said a Yatri Sathi spokesperson.

Long-Term Vision for Kolkata Commuters

The Shuttle service is tailored as a convenient alternative for daily commuters, especially those traveling into high-density commercial hubs like Sector V and New Town.

Yatri Sathi’s overarching vision is to encourage greater adoption of efficient, shared public transportation. By offering reliable shared rides, the platform aims to reduce single-occupancy private vehicle usage on city roads, helping to alleviate traffic congestion across Kolkata over time.

How Passengers Can Access the Service

Yatri Sathi plans to continue strengthening its Shuttle network with more routes and trips based on demand and feasibility in the coming months. Commuters can check route details, schedules, and reserve seats directly through the Yatri Sathi app.
