Passengers faced hours-long waits for buses in Farrukhabad, Bhai Dooj day. The Roadways bus stand was crowded from morning, especially with women travelers. Those going to Hardoi and Bareilly faced the most trouble due to bus shortages. As buses arrived, people scrambled to board, some even trying to enter through windows. Roadways' special arrangements for the festival fell short. Illegal vehicles took advantage, overcharging passengers. Private buses were also hard to find. Officials claimed 200 buses were sent to various destinations, but major routes still lacked enough buses. Police were present at the bus stand for security.
