As of now, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has said that the state is getting ready to start using electric buses in important towns. As part of its plan to support environmentally friendly transportation and lower pollution levels in the state, the Mann government is launching this project. The project is meant to not only bring India’s public transportation up to date, but also set a standard for environmentally friendly transportation in the country.
Cities Are Part of the First Phase
According to a report of Punjab Kesari, the first part of the electric bus rollout will include Ludhiana, Amritsar, Jalandhar, and Patiala. In the future, they plan to add services to other districts. These cities, which are some of Punjab’s busiest, were picked because they have a lot of people and need more efficient public transportation.
Special Plans Made by the Mann Government
The Punjab government is making extra plans to make sure that the start of this big project goes smoothly. It is being planned to build charging stations, modern bus depots, and digital tracking systems. The transportation department has also been told to test the service before letting everyone use it.
CM Bhagwant Mann said that the project will use a strong infrastructure plan to make sure that the buses stay efficient, cost-effective, and good for the environment.
Advantages for people and the environment
Introducing electric buses is supposed to help people by:
- Giving them a reliable and affordable way to get around.
- Commuter prices will go down a lot compared to fuel-based options.
- Getting cars to put out less pollution and making the air quality better in cities.
Experts think that this move will help stop Punjab’s air pollution problem from getting worse and get more people to take the bus or train instead of driving their own cars.
Promise to Support Long-Term Growth
Chief Minister Mann said that the electric bus project isn’t just about getting people around; it’s also about Punjab’s environment in the long run. He stressed how important it is to switch to green transportation for a better, cleaner, and longer-lasting future.
“This project is for the next generation.” “We are set on making Punjab a place where environmental protection and modern technology work together,” Mann said.
