Raipur Nagar Nigam Transport Limited

Public transport should always be the hallmark of a good transportation system for a city, especially for a city like Raipur, which is earmarked as the “Most Developing City” and because of this reason it required an integrated mass transportation system. The role of public transport is vital, particularly to reduce the use of personalized transport. This system should be such that it can work in co-ordination with the city’s existing transportation system. An efficient mass transportation system is very much needed for sustainability of not only the economy of the city but also for reducing stress due to pollution on the environment.
