UD-Volvo Trial Bus Inaugrated today!

UD Bus, Was Inaugurated today by the Ktaka Transport Minister at the BMTC HQ At Shantinagar today for a trial run on 342F Route.



BMTC has recieved two buses as a part of the trial run, following which they may procure the buses if their performance is satisfactory.(KA01AE 2384,3043)

It shall do 342F , Majestic(KBS) To Sarjapura, and shall be homed at Depot 25 of the BMTC.




The Bus is a 12m, powered by a 230hp, 8lit, 6Cyl Euro4 Diesel Engine. The Specs look real good on paper, however, a ride can tell how it really performs in the city.

This is pitted as an alternative to Corona Citybus, Tata and Ashok Leyland Citybuses, which is intended to have a premium feel while taking care of the costs.The Bus does really give a low-cost feel but not as much as that of the ones of their rivals in the market, It does fel good , with wide interiors, seats and is really spacious.

Lets see if it does make into the BMTC Fleet..
