“To increase the fleet strength of BMTC - to 10000 in five years.”
On track. The promise was to increase the BMTC fleet to 10,000 buses in five years. BMTC operates roughly 7,000 buses, and with the Centre allocating 4,500 electric buses to Bengaluru under PM E-DRIVE (alongside state budget provisions for thousands more), the fleet is reported to be on course to reach about 10,000. Progressing toward the target within the window, not yet reached.
To install public charging/ battery swapping points at every metro station and bus stands to provide charging infrastructure.
To introduce e-rickshaws to improve first-mile and last-mile connectivity in the city of Bengaluru.
To add 5000 new electric buses to BMTC’s fleet to reduce pollution and make BMTC more energy efficient.
