Flagging off ceremony of the Mo E-Ride and E-Bus by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik.
Zero Emission E-buses which will ply under the brand name of Mo Bus will promote green mobility and pave way for sustainable future.
With the introduction of e-rickshaws in Bhubaneswar, Mo E-Ride will provide first and last mile connectivity.
Following its values of gender inclusivity, CRUT has introduced 50% reservation for women as Guides of Mo Bus and 100% reservation for women, transgender and socially disadvantaged people as Sarathis of Mo E-Ride.
As a further step towards inclusiveness in the operations of CRUT, it has introduced women Captains (drivers) for Mo Bus.
In order to further the initiative and promote public to use E-Buses, CRUT is providing free ride to its commuters in its Mo E-Buses for the first three days.
