Air taxi service for Buddhist sites in Bihar
PATNA — The Bihar government is starting air taxi sevices to ferry tourists to different tourist sites scattered across the state, a senior state tourism department official said.
“We have planned to launch air taxi services to link various Buddhist sites scattered across Bihar,” state tourism department principal secretary Rashmi Verma said. The system is expected to start from the next year.
Verma said to begin with, the air taxi will be operational between the places where the airstrips are available.
Authorities said they were encouraged to start this project owing to the increasing number of foreigners visiting Bihar and the inconveniences being faced by them in reaching the tourist sites.
As per an official report, a total of 3,56,446 foreign tourists visited Bihar in 2008-09. In 2007-08, their number was 1,77,362. In 2006-07, their number remained at 94,446 while in 2005-06, a total of 63,301 foreign tourists visited Bihar for sightseeing.

Really a good step taken by our good governance and the same steps are required to facilitate the infrastructure needs in all around the buddhist circuit ie. good condition of road, electric power, hospitals, etc.
Very good intiative… This will give a major thrust in tourism development efforts.
good work , please develop tourism infrastructure in bihar rapidly . Also please built an Gautam Buddha express highway connecting all buddhist cities like bodh gaya, lumbini, vaishali, sarnath etc.
Jai Bihar !! Jai Buddha !!
Bihar should give special focus for Tourisum infrastructure development. Development of Airport should be given top priority in the places like Gaya, Chapra, Muzzafarpur, Navada etc. Road development and standard hotel will bring lots of revenue, and job to Bihar.
Besides government help, public help is also required. They should form a group to keep Town, City and Villages clean and develop attitude of hospitality.
