Enter this bus. It will take you nowhere. But, it will sanitise you and save you from a possible Corona virus attack. Yes. The TPSRTC has developed the first ever sanitiser bus.
The bus, whose seats have all been removed, has been fitted with 12 nozzles to spray anti-viral liquid. The nozzles are linked to a 200 litre capacity overhead tank fitted atop the bus through pipes. As soon as one enters the bus, the nozzles will begin spraying Sodium Hydrochloride solution from both the sides. As one passes through from one door to the other, he would be fully sanitised. The bus would be kept near government offices in Hyderabad and the employees could get themselves sanitised while entering and leaving the offices, an RTC official said.
Sources said the total cost of the sanitiser bus is just Rs 10000. This is so cost effective that the RTC is even planning to use condemned buses for the purpose of sanitising the public at large. The sanitiser bus was developed at the Kachiguda bus depot.
