The Rai Saheb Bhanwar Singh College is located in the rural area of the Sehore District. A very good public transport commutation is available for the students to reach the college. However, most of the students are staying in the far remote places, and reaching in time to the college by traveling on a public transport vehicle is not a viable option. To overcome this problem the college is running buses from the appropriate nodes near the student’s residences which will operate in time and ensure safe and timely reach to the college and reach home safely in time after college hours. To maintain the schedule to ensure the bus facility is available for the students and to make necessary arrangements in the event of a breakdown of the buses the college has appointed a Transport committee that will address the commutation problems of the students. The College runs 17 buses for providing transport facilities to staff and students from various places.
