Command centre to be established in Noida, live monitoring to be undertaken

A proposal for this has already been sent to the government. The proposed control room, which will operate round the clock, will enable live monitoring of e-buses. This will help maintain continuous oversight of bus operations, routes, and services, while also facilitating the provision of better and more organised public transport facilities to passengers.
