Sikar Roadways: New Electric Buses to Boost Travel Safety and Comfort

• Rajasthan Roadways plans to replace old, dilapidated buses on short and local routes in Shekhawati with new vehicles.
• Sikar Depot will receive 10 new contracted buses in February, with 20 electric buses also planned, to enhance passenger experience.
• Currently, 13 condemned buses, purchased in 2013, operate on routes like Neemkathana, Khandela, and Nawa, exceeding their prescribed mileage.
• These old buses frequently suffer technical breakdowns, causing inconvenience to passengers.
• The introduction of new buses will allow for the removal of condemned vehicles and the expansion of services to new routes after a survey.

Why It Matters: Sikar Roadways is upgrading its fleet with new contracted and electric buses for safer, more comfortable travel.
