The second venture is launching a public awareness campaign on Cities for Forests agreement on forest conservation, restoration and management which has been signed by 57 cities around the world, including Mumbai, on September 22 this year.
The e-Bus Mission is planned under the Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative (TUMI) to upgrade Brihanmumbai Power Supply and Transport (BEST) electric buses in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. This mission will consider overall aspects of electric bus operation in the city, including how many buses should run on which routes at what interval, how to make proper use of electric buses, and taking this service to more passengers.
