The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation will induct 100 brand new non-AC buses called Ashwamedha Classic next week.
These buses sport a new design, have wider legroom and come with several other features. A prototype bus was introduced last year for trial runs.
The buses will ply as point-to-point express vehicles, meaning they will run from various district headquarters to Bengaluru, a KSRTC official said. Some of the features include vehicle location tracker, panic buttons and public address systems.
All buses will comply with Bharat Stage 6 norms. They are taller, have wider rear and front windscreens, and larger passenger window glasses. CM Siddaramaiah will launch them outside the Vidhana Soudha on Monday.
