AGARTALA, November 19 2023: Introduction of shuttle cab service at the Agartala Integrated Check Post (ICP) to ferry passengers to the MBB Airport in Agartala is expected to ease sufferings of the travelers. The service has recently been introduced to commemorate 10th anniversary of the ICP which has become essentially busy due mainly to the arrival and departure of Bangladeshis.
The travelers mostly enter the state with the purpose of visiting different states of India via air travel from MBB Airport. Availability of conveyance as well as demand of high fare had been coming as a main hazard for them.
In this backdrop service was introduced as an easy, quick and convenient transportation.
The passengers had often complained over ill treatment and manipulation of foreign guests by owners of three-wheeler auto rickshaws.
The shuttle service however launched without assigning a number of cabs only raise question whether the cabs will be available on ‘ready-to-move’ basis. The volume of passengers involving the Agartala ICP is huge and thus the Tripura government should make sure a comprehensive method of shuttle services, commented an ICP official Sunday.
