Public transportation in Lucknow is undergoing a change with the introduction of a new fleet of e-buses. These zero-emission buses are also being run on new routes in the city, boosting connectivity and making daily commute, a hassle-free task for the locals. Starting December 1, citizens will be able to catch the new AC e-buses while traveling from Rajajipuram to Deva Sharif. A total of 11 such buses will be plying on this route and travellers can catch one every 15-30 minutes.
Lucknow gets new buses under Smart City Mission
Lucknow’s Transport Department has slated the run of 11 new electronic buses across Lucknow. Reportedly, this new fleet has been provided to Lucknow under the state’s Smart City Mission. The district has received a tender of 100 e-buses, of which 60 have been already deployed. The remaining 40 will be inducted soon, officials said.
