Chandigarh, July 3

The Engineering Department of the UT Administration will again float tenders for the construction of bus queue shelters in the city.

Earlier, the department had floated tenders on a built, operate and transfer (BOT) basis, but failed to get any response.

An official said 139 new bus shelters would be constructed and 132 old shelters would be renovated.

The official said the company would construct the shelters and use them for advertisements. The company would share a part of the revenue earned from the advertisements with the Administration.

Meanwhile, the Transport Department is working on an intelligent public transport system that will enable people to check the real-time location of a bus on their cell phone.
