Bengaluru: Battery-driven electric buses will be operational in Bengaluru over the next few years said Deputy Chief Minister G. Parameshwara.
Addressing a trade event here, he said, “We will be shifting to battery-driven electric buses to curb the pollution which is caused due to diesel vehicles, this will also reduce the operating cost of the state-run public transport,”
Frequent electric buses would not only reduce air pollution but also make more people use them for commuting, he said.
“CM H.D. Kumaraswamy discussed the BMTC plan with officials to replace all buses of the state-run public transport service with electric battery version to reduce depending on polluting fossil fuel and the operation cost,” said Parameshwara at the 8th edition of “Busworld India”, a bus-cum-coach expo in the city.
