First service from the KSRTC’s central bus station at Thampanoor here to Kochi will be flagged off by Transport Minister, Antony Raju.
The Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) will launch its first Liquefied Natural Gas(LNG)-powered bus service on Monday as part of the ambitious goal to switch over to green fuel to bring down fleet’s operational cost and reduce pollution. The first service of the LNG-powered bus from the KSRTC’s central bus station at Thampanoor here to Kochi will be flagged off by the Transport Minister, Antony Raju. The daily services will be in the Ernakulam-Thiruvananthapuram-Ernakulam and Kozhikode-Ernakulam-Ernakulam sectors. The services are using the two air-conditioned buses handed over by the Petronet LNG Limited to the KSRTC for operating the services on trial basis for three months. Technical and economic feasibility studies were on for three months after taking temporary permit for the bus. The KSRTC has already issued order to convert 400 diesel powered bus into LNG.More Related News
