After a highly engaging Day 1, the second day of UITP India International Bus Seminar 2024 witnessed equal enthusiasm from its participants in the Technical Visit. The participants were taken to the Rajghat-2 #ElectricBus #Depot of Delhi Transport Corporation to give practical exposure and hands-on experience of the management of #ebuses at the depot. This depot houses the e-buses manufactured by UITP member JBM Group. It was an enriching experience for the participants to get an overview of the layout and design of the electric bus depot, features of an electric bus, nitty-gritty of charging infrastructure, and safety measures taken at the depot. The officials of the depot also emphasised on the induction and refreshment #trainings provided to the drivers to ensure safety of the commuters. It was interesting to note how women are encouraged to join the workforce, especially as drivers of the electric buses. As this edition of UITP India International Bus Seminar 2024 wraps up, we would like to thank our partners - NITI Aayog Official, Ministry of Road Transport & Highways - India, Association of State Road Transport Undertakings (ASRTU), JBM Group, Delhi Transport Corporation, Motorindia Magazine, Sustainable Bus and Urban Transport News for their support.
