Three Sajha Yatayat electric buses started their services in Kathmandu on Thursday.

The buses will run on two routes.

One bus will run on Lagankhel-Jawalakhel-Tripureshwor-Lainchaur-Bansbari-Budanikantha route while the other two will ply the Machhapokari-Balaju-Sohrakhutte-Purano Buspark-Maitighar-Tinkune-Airport route.

According to Sajha Yatayat, female drivers will be given priority to operate these disabled-friendly electric buses.

President of Sajha Yatayat, KanakMani Dixit said they have requested the government to allocate a bigger space for a charging station. “We need a bigger charging station. We are hopeful the government will make the needful arrangements soon,” said Dixit.

Here are some photos taken by Post photographer Keshav Thapa of the flag-off of the electric buses.
