A local feeder route is also being worked out for some stations. DMRC and the transport department will implement the plan.
"It's the first time Delhi will have battery-operated buses. Charging points will be provided at Metro stations. We have not decided on the make or the design of the bus yet," said Sanjiv Kumar, environment secretary, Delhi government. E-rickshaws were not considered due to the ban, said a member.
"Delhi should look at a para-transit system. Electric trolley buses run on an established technology that can be implemented. Affordability is also critical. We need para-transit options that can cater to different sections of commuters. Delhi should explore various options," said Anumita Roychowdhury, head of the clean air programme at Centre for Science and Environment (CSE).
Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) had launched one electric bus on a pilot basis recently from Majestic bus stand to Kadugodi bus stop covering a distance of over 20km. However, it's not being used as feeder service. These buses—each costs about Rs 2.7 crore—can run for 250km with about six hours of charging. But after three months of trial run, BMTC is finding it difficult to continue with the experiment as the cost of running these buses is quite high.
E-buses are used across the world. Seoul in South Korea, for instance, has introduced 'Peanut buses' that can ferry 1,000-3,000 passengers a day and up to 47 passengers on each trip. A fully charged battery allows the bus to run for 80km at an average speed of 20-40km per hour. Malaysia will soon launch electric buses as shuttle vehicles on Kuala Lumpur's first BRT line exclusively for these buses. In many European cities it's been in use for a long time. Electric buses in Vienna don't need to charge their batteries all the time. A running bus recharges the battery through an overhead electric line.
