  "summary": "Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, is set to expand its electric bus fleet to 30 buses from August 24, 2021, with 10 new electric buses joining the existing 20. The additional buses will operate on routes B35, B36, and B37, enhancing connectivity between Kolar Road, Bawadiya Kalan, Bairagarh, MP Nagar, and the Inter-State Bus Terminal (ISBT). The new electric buses will help reduce waiting times for passengers, with buses expected to arrive every 10 to 15 minutes. The city's existing electric bus service currently handles around 10,000 to 12,000 passengers daily, with fares ranging from ₹6 to ₹40. The new electric buses also feature hydraulic doors to accommodate passengers with disabilities, a first in Bhopal's city bus fleet.",
