For the first time, KSRTC to operate e-buses on inter-district routes

Passengers of Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) will be able to hop on to electric buses (e-buses) soon. After the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) introduced e-buses in the city, KSRTC will follow suit and operate them on popular routes such as Bengaluru-Mysuru, Bengaluru–Madikeri, Bengaluru-Chikkamagaluru, and Bengaluru-Davangere.

Under the Central scheme, the corporation is operating 50 buses on lease basis and expects the first prototype in two months
