What groups in Ahmedabad hire buses for
Buses from Ahmedabad move wedding guests between party plots and hotels, take schools to Science City and the Statue of Unity, run society picnics, and carry staff to the industrial estates at Sanand and Changodar. Larger yatra groups book coaches for Dwarka, Somnath and Nathdwara. A mini bus is easier to park in the western suburbs and at temples; a full-size coach with a luggage hold makes sense for long highway runs and groups of forty or more.
