5-member expert committee to inspect the trial run of buses
With an objective to inspect the prototype buses, a 5-member expert committee has been set up. This includes the General Manager of the Transport Department, Project Director for the city buses, Joint Director, Service Manager and an engineer from the IIT. Reportedly, these officials will assess the trial run of the buses and prepare a detailed report with regards to it thereafter.
Buses will be brought to the state only after the results of this inspection are thoroughly analysed. As per reports, it has been planned that more than 400 buses will be introduced in the state under the first phase of the project, if the current trials are successful.
