The location of Ranchi also is a major hurdle in this. Ranchi is located on a much higher elevation than its neighboring areas making it difficult during early years to develop trunk lines through it. Most of the other Major cities / capitals lie on trunk routes whereas Ranchi lines are targeting only the local population. However with recent developments atleast we are discovering new connections and routes. Tori and Barkakana routes will throw open lots of better options for Ranchi and surrounding areas. Just wait for 3-4 more years.
