Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and other major urban areas, which have dedicated corridors for buses, will soon see the debut of air-conditioned articulated buses (double buses). The Union urban development ministry has proposed introducing these to attract passengers to use public transport.
An articulated bus is usually of single-deck design and comprises two rigid sections linked by a pivoting joint. These buses can carry around 150 people. “This will be a part of our scheme to provide buses to cities and small towns in the second phase of JNNURM,” a ministry official said.
Sources said there was also a proposal to introduce battery operated buses to promote green technology in public transport. These buses can cover about 200 km after being fully charged.
