Chhattisgarh to deploy 240 saffron electric buses across four cities

Chhattisgarh is set to roll out 240 saffron electric buses across four urban centers, including Raipur, Durg–Bhilai, Bilaspur, and Korba. The deployment aims to provide an affordable and eco-friendly transit option for residents. Each bus will be equipped with six CCTV cameras for security and will allow passengers to track live locations and purchase digital tickets via a mobile app. The distribution includes 100 buses in Raipur, 50 in Durg–Bhilai, 50 in Bilaspur, and 40 in Korba. The initiative focuses on connecting major educational institutions, hospitals, and commercial areas, enhancing public transport accessibility. This move is part of Chhattisgarh's broader strategy to promote sustainable urban transport solutions. The introduction of these electric buses is expected to reduce pollution and improve the overall commuting experience for residents in these cities.
