Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

It works : But it takes time

 


Context :

BEST procures 32 electric buses on wet lease in Mumbai, to be operational soon

Extract :

Ø  The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) has procured 32 electric buses on wet lease, and it will soon begin operating in the city.

Ø  Under the wet lease model, BEST does not own the buses, but gets the buses from contractors who provide them for a fixed per-kilometre rate.

{  My arguments for “ Per Km rate “ :

   This clause will force the party leasing the buses (to BEST), to set up

   Battery Charging Stations, on its own- since their bus will stop earning , the       moment it stops running if battery gets discharged ! }

Ø  “The buses have been procured and will begin operations in the city soon.       More electric buses will also be procured soon.” said a senior BEST official. A   total of 340 electric buses will be procured by BEST.

 These buses have a capacity of 31 passengers and can travel up to 200km in a

 single charge.
