Need to be better prepared
According to domain experts, municipal authorities should be better prepared when new e-buses ply. “Some cities under the PM E-bus Sewa scheme are ones where there was no government public transportation. In such cases, the entire ecosystem – including municipalities, technicians, aftermarket services, and even manufacturers, has to take extra precautions and be prepared,” said T. Surya Kiran, former director of Central Institute of Road Transport, Pune.
