WB's Transport Department Introduces 2 CNG-Powered Buses In Kolkata

CNG-aided buses have been introduced in Kolkata on August 10 to ferry people from Newtown to Howrah. Initially, the introduction of two buses by the state’s transport department is to mitigate pollution and rising diesel costs. “Apart from reducing pollution levels, the operational costs of running buses will come down significantly (once battery- or CNG-powered vehicles are introduced),” said Firhad Hakim, WB Transport Minister.
