SuhaibNaqshbandi, Operating Managing Director, Smart City E-Buses Srinagar, while sharing the details about the project, said the smart city is planning to build 360 ultra-modern bus stops in Srinagar city with enhanced and modern technology.
He said these are futuristic bus stops with all amenities and will inform the passengers about the arrival and departure of the buses.
"The newly coming bus stops will feature a Passenger Information System (PIS) and will show the real-time location of the smart city bus. The bus stop is going to have a monitor display to show the real-time information of buses and the entire route maps of the city where the buses ply,” he said.
About these stops in Srinagar, Suhaib informed that the upcoming bus stops are coming from a holistic study conducted by the public transport study and the demand of the public, and only then were the upcoming stops in the city identified.
