Capital roads to witness electric buses soon
Soon we would be able to find electric-powdered buses plying on selective Bhubaneswar routes. A feasibility study is being conducted by a private consultancy firm. Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) commissioner Krishan Kumar said, "The survey will help us in chalking out the routes since it will require dedicated passage, including Janpath, which will be developed as smart Janpath under the Smart City work." In the initial phase, these electric buses will be deployed on some select roads in the capital which will extend to other areas later. This is a part of city bus modernization programme which will facilitate green transport and pollution check.
