BMTC Inspects Midi Buses For 200 New Fleet

The Hindu · india

Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) is inspecting seven-metre bus models for a planned induction of 200 midi buses. This initiative aims to enhance connectivity on narrow city roads and interior areas, particularly for first- and last-mile services to Namma Metro stations. The move follows a directive to deploy 200 mini-AC electric buses under the Centre’s PM E-DRIVE scheme. BMTC has previously faced safety concerns and revenue challenges with smaller buses, including incidents.
