PATNA: All public transport vehicles, including private buses and cabs, across the state will soon have to be fitted with VLTs (vehicle location tracking) and panic buttons, which will help authorities monitor incidences of over-speeding and reckless driving, and also facilitate them in seeking police assistance during emergency, according to transport department officials.
A control room has been set-up by the department in Vishveswarya Bhawan and required software has been developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC) to locate the GPS-enabled vehicles on real-time basis, they said.
