The latest electric state-run buses on Bengaluru roads have been turning the heads of residents ever since they were launched. These electric buses get charged at Majestic, Puttenahalli and Yelahanka bus stations every day, and a video of these buses getting charged at Yelahanka bus station is being widely shared on social media.
Officials of the Bangalore Metro Transport Corporation (BMTC) were seen charging the buses with fast chargers installed at stations. It takes 45 minutes to 1 hour for a bus to get fully charged which helps the bus run for 200 kilometres.

The buses are non-AC and 12 metre-long with a seating capacity of 40 people, excluding the driver. They also have the facility of a wheelchair mechanism which is also electrically operated. This facility is for physically challenged commuters of Bengaluru who board buses regularly. These electric buses come with CCTV cameras, LED lights and emergency panic buttons for the safety of commuters.

The BMTC earlier announced 300 electric buses for the city. Seventy-five electric buses were already introduced in the city on Independence Day this year.
