The Union Health and Family Welfare Minister J.P. Nadda flagged off battery operated buses services at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi on Thursday (14 September).


The buses will be maintained by the company and they would also bear the salaries of drivers and other support staff for a two year period. The option for renewal also exists and it is expected that the buses would be used for transporting patients, attendants serving patients and other support staff within the AIIMS campus. An estimated 5000 passengers per day are expected to patronise the new battery operated buses.
