Bengaluru: The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) has repurposed a Leyland bus with a mileage of 10,64,298 kilometers into a mobile canteen/lunch hall at the North Zone Central Workshop-04.
Under the directive of BMTC Managing Director Ramachandran R., I.A.S., the scrap vehicle was transformed into a mobile canteen/lunch hall utilizing resources available at the workshop. The initiative was spearheaded by R. Ananda Kumar, Assistant Mechanical Engineer, Central Workshop-04, North Zone, and his team of technical employees.
The innovative mobile canteen features seating and table arrangements, fan systems, handwashing facilities, drinking water systems, and ventilation/lighting systems, including glass windows on the roof and sides of the bus.
