CNG buses for city in December
Staff Reporter
HYDERABAD: The much awaited APSRTC Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses will be plying on the city roads by December this year.
In all, 100 buses are being procured by the corporation, of which five would be exclusively for Hyderabad and the rest for Vijayawada region. CNG buses will be sporting German red and white colour similar to the city ordinary services. Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy will be flagging off the first batch of CNG buses bound to Vijayawada at State Assembly on Monday. APSRTC signed an agreement last year with Ashok Leyland for manufacturing specialised chassis for these buses and Bhagyanagar Gas Limited (BGL) for supplying the gas. BGL will supply CNG with a dispenser in Vijayawada. It would supply CNG in cylinders to Hyderabad. At present, discussions were on with BGL over the cost of supplying gas, said a senior corporation official.
APSRTC is the first transport utility in southern India to use CNG for buses.
