Udhagamandalam: Fourteen new buses of Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC) for the Nilgiris was flagged off by Collector J Innocent Divya on Friday.

“These buses replace the old ones that are to be taken out of service. The service-routes for the new buses are the same. All the 19 old buses will be sent to Mettupalayam yard and later auctioned,” he added.
The buses will have 52 seats with better leg space compared to the old 59-seaters. With this the Nilgiris will have 285 buses.
