Besides LNG buses, plan to convert 3,000 others into CNG
The Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) will launch 400 liquefied natural gas (LNG) buses in one year if the trial run of the LNG buses is a success, Transport Minister Antony Raju has said. Flagging off the maiden service of the LNG-powered bus from Thiruvananthapuram to Ernakulam at the KSRTC Central bus station at Thampanoor here on Monday, the Minister said the initiative was to switch over to green fuel to bring down the fleet’s operational costs and reduce pollution. Along with the LNG buses, Mr. Raju said the KSRTC had worked out plans to convert another 3,000 buses into CNG in view of the rising price of high-speed diesel.
