"The process of induction of new drivers was on and it was expected to have them in place by March-April, 2013. After their induction the bus service would be expanded," a spokesman of the State Transport Department said here today.

Haryana Roadways also intends to introduce low floor air-conditioned CNG buses for the convenience of citizens in Gurgaon and Faridabad by next summer, he said.

Public transport in the two cities has been one of the top concerns of the state government and all out efforts were being made to upgrade the infrastructure of the facility.

Intra-city service in Gurgaon was launched with 72 buses which have now gradually been scaled up to 160 buses.

 

In Faridabad, the State Roadways was plying about 170-180 buses a day, he said.
