Patna Embraces Green Tourism with New Electric Bus Fleet!

Patna is set to revolutionize its tourism landscape and promote sustainable travel with the introduction of 40 new electric buses (e-buses). This exciting initiative, announced by the state government, aims to provide eco-friendly and comfortable transportation for tourists connecting the capital city to Bihar’s most iconic destinations.

Key Highlights of the E-Bus Rollout:

• Eco-Friendly Travel: These modern electric buses will significantly reduce carbon emissions, offering a greener way for visitors to explore Bihar’s rich heritage and natural beauty. This aligns with global efforts to promote sustainable tourism practices.
• Connecting Key Tourist Hubs: The new fleet will primarily operate on routes linking Patna to popular tourist circuits, including the historical and spiritual cities of Rajgir and Gaya. This will make it easier for both domestic and international tourists to access these significant sites.
• Enhanced Tourist Experience: Beyond their environmental benefits, the e-buses are expected to offer a quieter, smoother, and more comfortable journey compared to traditional fossil-fuel buses. This will contribute to a more enjoyable travel experience for visitors.
• Infrastructure for the Future: The deployment of these e-buses also signifies an investment in the necessary charging infrastructure, paving the way for further expansion of electric public transport in the region.
• Expected Rollout: Tourists and residents can look forward to seeing these state-of-the-art buses on the roads by February 2026, just in time for the peak tourist season.
