Scrap diesel buses older than 15 years, replace with e-buses: Yogi

Lucknow, Apr 16 (UNI) Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday directed that it should be ensured that no diesel or CNG buses older than 15 years are used; they should be scrapped and replaced with electric buses.
While reviewing the projects being run by the Urban Development Department, the CM said, "The initiative to promote environmentally friendly clean-fuel buses in urban transport is yielding positive results. Currently, 700 electric buses are operating across 15 cities. It must be ensured that no diesel or CNG buses older than 15 years are used. Such buses should be scrapped and replaced with electric buses."
He said that private operators of electric buses should also be given opportunities in city bus services. "Their fare should be regulated in view of the wider public interest. Proper parking spaces and fixed routes should be assigned to them. These private e-buses should be connected to nearby towns. This can become an effective model for urban transport," he said.
