The new AC double-decker e-buses arrived at BEST's Anik depot earlier this week. They are likely to be introduced into service next week once the vehicle registration process is completed, the BEST official said
The BEST is currently plying two air-conditioned double-decker e-buses, which were introduced in February and March. The transport authority had earlier assured that 20 such buses would arrive in the city by March-end
The manufacturing company has made some changes in the interiors of the new buses, though there are no visible changes in the exteriors, an BEST official informed
The BEST has around 3,200 single and double-decker buses and the fleet size is reducing fast, as older buses are getting scrapped every month
The 200 buses which will be introduced by BEST this year, will reduce BEST’s carbon footprint and will also save around 26 million litres of diesel per year. The BEST recently conducted a travel study across the city
