Nearly 90% of this bus will become an AC electricity while the rest will be a new non-AC CNG bus, said source.
Lokesh Chandra’s best general manager said that 100 buses will operate on 70 routes from 27 bus depots throughout the city in the morning and evening.

The number of buses is only a woman now going up 137, with a fleet already has 37 women’s special buses.
“Based on demand, we will increase travel or routes for women’s special buses,” Chandra added.
The bus will go to any route that is in demand and crowded during rush hour, not just the office route.
