For the convenience and safety of passengers, the Haryana Roadways buses will be equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) and LED based Electronic Destination Board displaying the destination stations, including stoppages en route.
A decision to install the GPS in state buses was to ensure safety of the passengers, crew and the vehicle, an official spokesman said today.
However, in the first phase, GPS would be installed in the buses of Gurgaon and Rewari Depots.
After the successful implementation of the GPS in these depots, it would be implemented in other depots of Haryana Roadways.
All new buses being fabricated by the Haryana Roadways Engineering Corporation would have the electronic destination boards.
Thereafter, such boards would be provided in all the 4,000 buses of the fleet, the spokesman added.
