New fleet of 1,150 electric AC buses announced to boost public transport

AMTS has placed a work order for 1,150 brand‑new electric, air‑conditioned buses. The procurement aims to modernise the existing fleet and extend services to the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) zones and neighboring districts. Officials expect the electric buses to lower operational costs, reduce emissions and enhance passenger comfort. The expansion is part of a broader strategy to reinforce public‑transport reach, making commuting smoother for residents of the city and its outskirts.
