Commenting on this new initiative, GMDA General Manager (Mobility) RD Singhal said that the additional 100 electric buses will improve the public transport system of Gurugram. This will provide better service to passengers traveling on more routes in the city, and reduce dependence on private vehicles, which can also solve the traffic problem.
Gurugram Metropolitan City Bus Limited
Gurugram Metropolitan City Bus Limited (GMCBL) is currently providing service with 150 buses on 23 routes. However, officials believe that this fleet is not enough to meet the increasing demand of passengers.
Currently, looking at the number of passengers, this number needs to be increased. According to officials, this tender is expected to be completed soon, and by the end of June new buses will come to the city and revamp the entire system. This will increase the total number of GMCBL fleet to 250, which will bring a big change in the city’s transport facilities.
