Naya Raipur Development Authority (NRDA) and EMBARQ organized a half-day workshop on March 25 highlighting the importance of sustainable transport in Indian cities.
The workshop involved more than 50 senior goverment officials and delegates from the state of Chhattisgarh.
A new publication, “Bus Karo: A Guidebook on Bus Planning & Operations,” released today by EMBARQ India, provides case studies, recommendations, and specific methodologies that serve as a helpful reference to Indian cities and states as they set up new transit agencies, operate buses, monitor their performance and develop frameworks for continuous system improvement.
