Just searched about this bus and found they are 50 services listed from Kanpur to New Delhi in which 20 are reliable making 720 berth capacity and demand accounts to one more night train from Kanpur.

please wait...Translate to HindiShatabdi express din ke time mei intercity hai aur rail ke track par chalti hai, lekin yeh Shatabdi sleeper bus hai jo expressway par Kanpur se New Delhi tak chalti hai. Bas abhi is bus ke baare mein search kiya aur pata chala ki Kanpur se New Delhi tak 50 services hain, jismein se 20 reliable hain jinke paas 720 berth capacity hai aur demand hai ek aur raat ka train Kanpur se. Lucknow se kam se kam 50 reliable buses night mein available hain. Agar IR sirf VB par dhyan lagaye short sectors mei 500km ke toh UP mein expressway network ke vikas ke saath raat ka traffic road sector mein jaayega. Paanch saal pehle train hi reliable travel option tha lekin Agra, Yamuna aur Purvachal expressway ke khulne ke baad road sector badh gaya hai Kanpur, Lucknow, Gorakpur aur eastern UP ke paas, jo New Delhi ke nazdeek hai raat ko. Prayag Merrut expressway ke saath UP ke shahar Chandigarh aur Haridwar tak raat bhar ki bus services dekhne ko milegi future mein. IR ko ab to apni aankhein kholni chahiye aur naye overnight trains introduce karni chahiye 500-800 km par daily basis par nahi to road sector har jayega.
