Minister for Water Resources Duraimurugan on Saturday flagged off seven new AC buses to big cities and towns including Chennai, Bengaluru, Hosur and Tiruchi at a cost of Rs 3.43 crore at a function in new bus terminus here on Saturday.
Officials of The Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC), which will operate the buses on these new routes, said that a total of 105 new buses including 63 mofussil buses and 27 town buses are being operated from Vellore since 2021.
Buses are operated in seven new routes and 23 places, where buses were temporarily halted earlier.“Additional AC buses to cities will help engineering and medical students, who study in Chennai and Bengaluru, to travel easily as Mondays always witness huge crowds at the bus terminus in Vellore,” said K.
