@ChristinMP_TOI @KSRTC_Journeys Awesome. Two qns: 1. We seem to be experimenting with many vendors (Switch/AL, Olectra etc). Any clear winner? 2. If there is a 2 hr jam midway on the highway, assuming AC keeps running, will the bus have enuf juice to get to destn?

@KSRTC_Journeys 1) Too early to say 2) Once it is fully charged, an e-bus could cover 320Km. KSRTC has designed e-bus routes in such a way that it will utilise only 80% charge. KSRTC will also have a standby vehicle/staff.

@ChristinMP_TOI @KSRTC_Journeys Are electric busses even needed for intercity travel? We need to have some objective analysis on this matter. Everything doesn’t have to go electric, it’s not like we’re generating 100% clean electricity right now.

@ChristinMP_TOI @KSRTC_Journeys Please introduce bus to Mysore from the new Kuvempunagara (BTM layout) bus stand. This will benefit South Bangalore.

@ChristinMP_TOI @KSRTC_Journeys I saw a switch bus in traffic near sirsi circle. Might be mistaken but sounded like a hybrid idling on an ICE Engine..might have been the cooler or fan systems. They surely look swanky.

KSRTC Bus overturns at Kaggalipura turn:1 killed, 7 injured in a shocking road mishap In a tragic road accident that occurred near the Kaggalipura turn on the outskirts of Bengaluru, a KSRTC bus lost control and overturned, resulting in the death of one person and serious injuries to at least seven others. The accident took place under the jurisdiction of the Kaggalipura Police Station on Sunday evening.According to eyewitness reports and CCTV footage, the bus was reportedly speeding when it collided with two motorcycles at the curve. The collision caused the driver to lose control, after which the bus veered off the road and tumbled into a ditch. The deceased has been identified as Nagraj, a sub-inspector from Electronic City Police Station, who was on one of the motorcycles involved in the crash. He died on the spot due to the impact. The other motorcyclist sustained injuries but is currently stable. Seven passengers onboard the KSRTC bus also sustained injuries, ranging from minor to serious. They were promptly shifted to a nearby hospital for treatment. Fortunately, no fatalities occurred among the passengers. Initial police investigations suggest that overspeeding and loss of control at a sharp turn were the primary causes of the accident. Kaggalipura Police have registered a case and are investigating further. Authorities are also checking if there were any mechanical issues with the vehicle. The incident has sparked renewed concerns over road safety, especially on sharp turns and poorly monitored routes around Bengaluru. Officials are urging drivers to exercise caution, especially in hilly and curve-prone zones. #bangalore #bengaluru #ksrtc KSRTC ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru alok kumar SP Bengaluru District Police DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.
