Ghaziabad to add more electric, CNG and BS-VI buses next year

The Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) is expecting a major addition of AC electric buses, CNG buses as well as BS-VI-compliant Shatabdi and Chetak buses to its ageing fleet next year, said officials on Tuesday.

The new buses will help in reducing air pollution, officials added, saying that the UPSRTC headquarters have agreed to supply a fleet of 40 e-buses for Ghaziabad next year.

The city received its first lot of 50 e-buses that are already in operation on four routes, while two more routes —Kaushambi to Dadri and Govindpuram to Sector 62, Noida — have also been added.
