The corporation will operate 90 e-buses as feeder service for Namma Metro
Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) is likely to receive a prototype of an electric bus (e-bus) by August 10. Prior to the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the corporation had selected NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Ltd. as an operator to run 90 non-AC e-buses under the Bengaluru Smart City Project. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the operator could not provide the e-buses. Officials now say that by August 10, a prototype of the e-bus, as per the specifications mentioned in the tender, will be provided by the operator. The prototype will be operated on the city’s roads.More Related News
