Pune, 11 June (HS): Maharashtra’s Transport Minister and Chairman of

MSRTC, Pratap Sarnaik expressed confidence that the state transport will have smart

e-buses with an integrated security system based on artificial intelligence.

e-buses will be procured in the near future. MSRTC plans to buy 1,000 e-buses

every year. The manufacturers of e-buses have been instructed to install AI

AI-based integrated safety system. The company has made similar buses for Uttar Pradesh.

fires and other incidents. The buses

will also have other systems to ensure safe travel for passengers.
