KSRTC gets an XL-size bus wash

The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation has recently installed an XL-size automated bus washing machine for its fleet of buses. The first machine has been installed at the Shanti Nagar Bus Depot in Bangalore and operates 121 schedules with 128 Volvo buses.

The machine uses 6 brushes on either side and one for the roof to clean the bus surface. Additionally, soap and water jets will be sprayed on the buses to ensure the exteriors are clean and shiny. It can wash one bus at a time, every 7 minutes.

The cost of this machine is approximately Rs. 6.9 lakhs. KSRTC plans to set up such machines at other bus depots in the near future.
