Environmental Initiatives by BMTC

1. Aforestation :- Massive afforestation programme was implemented.

2. Smoke Emission Checks:- BMTC has launched a programme of routine

smoke emission checks covering the entire fleet at regular intervals.

The limit of smoke levels for heavy duty diesel vehicles being 50 HSU.The limit of smoke levels for heavy duty diesel vehicles being 50 HSU.

3. Rain water Harvesting:- Rain water harvesting / Water Recycling has

been implemented in all most all the depots of Depots of BMTC.

4. Waste Management.

5. ISO Certificate in QMS and EMS.

SAFE GUARDING ENVIRONMENT BMTC by being the sole public transport provider is also the largest

fleet owner. It is committed to its social obligation of working for a

clean and pollution free environment through adoption of latest

automobile technology and bus maintenance techniques its

contribution in controlling pollution in the city is significant. The

following are steps initiate in this direction.

a) Use of low Sulphur content HSD in its Buses.

b) It has the youngest fleet in comparison to any state transport

undertaking in the country.

c) The engines installed in its buses conform to Euro-4 emission

standards.

d) Every Bus in its fleet under goes a standard emission to check each

month to ensure permissible smoke levels.

CONCEPT OF TTMCs

� To meet some of the objectives of the National Urban Transport Policy.

� To Provide an integrated transportation facility with adequate facilities

and amenities to cater to the requirements of all user groups.

� To encourage use of public transport through provision of park and ride

facilities in the bus terminal.

Concept of TTMC

facilities in the bus terminal.

� Smooth flow of all types of traffic to and from the terminal such that

there is no congestion/disturbance caused to traffic along the main

road.

� To create a mixed-use development with shopping, malls and other

commercial activity, to enable people to fulfill all these needs through

using bus transport

New Initiatives of Environment Activities

�Handling and Disposal of Solid and Hazardous waste by installing separate dust bins

at depots, Major bus stations, Workshops and TTMC’s for different types of waste

like dry and wet with neatly labeled and are easily accessible.
