Coming soon to Mysuru & Tumakuru: Double-decker, AC e-buses

Citizens in Mysuru and Tumakuru can look forward to travelling on double-decker buses by the end of this year.

In a unique first, the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) is planning to introduce double-deckers, air-conditioned electric buses for intra-city travel in Mysuru and Tumakuru under a pilot programme.

Each city will get five such buses that are primarily aimed at catering to students and tourists, said KSRTC Managing Director V Anbukumar. “We are certain of running these buses by the end of this calendar year,” he told DH.
