Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) Mayor Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh has said that 100 double-decker electric buses will be joining the Dhaka Nagar Paribahan service by this year.
He gave the information at a press conference following the 27th meeting of the bus route rationalization committee on Tuesday.
He said that strict measures will be taken to ensure the quality of passenger service and ensure order by removing the obstacles in the city transport.
Late mayor of Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Annisul Huq took the initiative to run buses under the route-based company in 2015. After his death on November 30, 2017, the then mayor of Dhaka South City Corporation Sayeed Khokon was given the responsibility of managing the bus route rationalization committee.
