Kolkata needs trams, not battery-run buses
Trams, with their speed averaging 20 to 30 kilometers per hour, match the pace of most public transport in the city, including buses.
Gurugram Regional Transport Authority (RTA) officials have seized 200 buses plying without permit and collected Rs 50 lakh fine during a special drive.
The seizure and fine were made by the six teams of RTA officials within two weeks.
