The new “Ashwamedha” buses are 3.42 metres tall, consisting of 52 seats in total in the “bucket type” design. These buses are stylised using the theme “Reconceptualising Travel” and the ride fare will remain unchanged for the service in a bid to retain affordability and provide ease of travel to frequent commuters between the cities.
