Delivery of 19 electric buses to Chandigarh Transport Undertaking delayed
The delivery of 19 electric buses to the Chandigarh Transport Undertaking (CTU) has been delayed by at least 10 days.
CTU was to receive the buses on September 30. On August 11, one electric bus was received, which was run on a trial basis for around 20 days. “After the trial run, we shared the shortcomings and improvements required by CTU with the manufacturer. These are being incorporated in the new buses,” said a senior transport department official.
The trial bus was to be put under operations for city residents from the first week of September, but wasn’t. “The delay in delivery of the 19 buses will further reschedule the entire bus delivery process.
