Mumbai: Your bus trip to the south of CSMT and Churchgate will be in an electric vehicle without soundless emissions from this weekend.
GM Lokesh Chandra Best said on Thursday that 117 e-buses will be deployed with short routes to Regal, Colaba, Navy Nagar, Nariman Point, Cuffe Parade and other areas that connect two stations.
“We plan to abolish 100% electric buses in this section.
It will be convenient for visitors to the office, in addition to other commuters who can have a comfortable trip on our new e-bus bus,” he said.
CM Uddhav Thackeray will launch 20 e-meter buses with wider space and facilities on the best foundation day.
The bus will be part of 117 which will ply in Sobo.
“This is our first initiative to run the bus only on electricity in one part of the city.
In the future, I will identify several other areas where only electric buses, which are environmentally friendly, can be operated,” Chandra said.
The presence of many e-buses will increase the frequency that can be a “maximum 15 minute” interval between two buses, the source said.
It will also reduce waiting time at the bus stop during working hours.
Passengers often complain waiting on bus-stop for more than 30 minutes.
The best has a 265 e-bus fleet, which 44% will be deployed for CSMT-Churchgate and head south.
The rest is being operated in other parts of the island and in the eastern suburbs, to mulund-mankhurd and western edges to Deferites.
The new bus will have a good suspension, CCTV cams for passenger safety, charging points for cellphones, wide entry / exit parts with 20 standes after the government allows it on the bus.
They will ensure exhausted driving experience without coupling and teeth shift and have space to teach those who are physically challenged.
Buses come with a smart transportation system with location trackers, electronic board display routes / destinations on the bus.
About 115 e-buses are more expected in September.
The best has 3,300 buses, including wet rent, CNG / Diesel / Electric.
