The scheme intends to deploy 9-meter-long electric buses to provide neighbourhood or feeder bus services," the release said.It added that the Kejriwal government plans to introduce a total of 2,180 such buses by 2025, specifically designed to cater to areas where road width is limited or where overcrowding prevents regular 12-meter buses from operating."This move is expected to enhance connectivity and improve transportation access for residents in these areas," it said.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
