The existing routes of GMCBL buses, under the 15-month-long MoU extending until March 2027, will be seamlessly optimized. This will help in facilitating more commuters, planning for fleet expansion and formulating detailed assessments of last-mile connectivity.
Rajeev Nagpal, GMCBL depot manager in Sector 10, said 100 new electric buses will be added to the city bus fleet starting March in a phased manner. Presently, GMCBL operates a fleet of 150 buses across the NCR city.
The academic and technical aspects of the project will be led by Plaksha University, in collaboration with technology solutions provider Street Surge.
“Through a data-driven approach, the initial six months of the MoU will focus on data analysis, planning, and network design, followed by nine months to implement and monitor the proposed solutions,” GMCBL said in a statement.
GMCBL’s chief executive officer Vishwajeet Chaudhary said we intend to further strengthen and enhance the bus services in Gurugram while offering a more reliable, affordable and efficient public transport network.
