Getting in an 'electronic bus' in Kolkata----

-

The very idea of getting in an electric bus in the first instance felt too much exciting and an adventure to me.I am a regular traveller and had also seen the birth of electronic buses in Kolkata.The whole concept is for saving environment , no emission ,no Carbon dioxide and Carbon Monoxide with other harmful gases. It is a revolution to the transportation .
Now ,I would question , how far the elctonic buses have influenced the daily commuters like us!
Well,my views will be that we are not atall influenced by the introduction of electronic buses! ( some are ofcourse)but we are thankful that e-buses are here in Kolkata!!
why-
Because the fare chart is high
Sorting an example ,A normal M16 bus gets almost double the metro passengers from tollygunge metro than that of a AC16 E-Bus.People will say this can control the accident (stopping people to hang from the door which it obviously does)but for us, the daily commuters-
a normal distance that can be travelled by only 9 to 10 rupees , the bus is charging 20-25 rupees.Yes, they are providing AC but is that AC much necessary for a very short distance?
Not every passengers can afford to pay 20 rupees everyday .Yes,It feels nice for day or 2 but regularly travelling by E-Buses is not atall pocket friendly especially for the students who get money every day to travel.
my request would be that E-Buses are necessary, fare to be reduced and should be made affordable for daily commuters.We dont need AC but we need green Kolkata ,Let us use the e -buses too.
Do let me know what you think?
