In a good news for the denizens of Bhubaneswar, they don’t have to pay any fare if they are travelling through Mo e-buses and e-rickshaws in the Capital City on Thursday.

The joint initiative has been taken by Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC), Capital Region Urban Transport (CRUT) and State Pollution Control Board in a bid to create awareness about keeping the environment neat and clean on the occasion of Clean Air Day today.

The announcement was made by Mayor Sulochana Das during a walkathon organised in Bhubaneswar on the occasion of Clean Air Day.

As air pollution is increasing on each passing day, the initiative has been taken to promote e-buses and e-rickshaws in Bhubaneswar to control the air pollution.
