Coimbatore: The Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation's Coimbatore Division is set to phase out old buses operating in the district and introduce new ones, according to General Manager Sridhar. This move, announced on May 16, is part of an effort to enhance the quality of public transportation.


Furthermore, the corporation has decided to roll out an additional 26 urban buses, already having launched six new lavender-colored buses earmarked as free services for women.
