Under the ambit of this project, the transport corporation will add 90 diesel buses and 10 CNG buses to the existing fleet of buses. As a part of this plan, all the old and obsolete roadways buses will be taken off the roads now. According to reports, the administration will introduce these new buses in a record time of 100 days.

With this, CNG buses will ply along Lucknow and Kanpur for the first time ever. According to reports, the CNG buses will make four rounds between the two cities on a daily basis. Upon operation, more than 1000 people will be able to use this bus service from Lucknow to Kanpur and vice-versa. Notably, these new buses will soon be inducted into the fleet and are likely to start the commercial run from April 15.

New buses to ply on these routes:
