PoliticsKarnataka Advances Cleaner Public Transport and Vehicle Scrapping
Karnataka is enhancing its public transport by removing unfit vehicles and promoting cleaner, fuel-efficient options. The state has three operational vehicle scrapping facilities (RVSFs) and automated testing stations (ATSs), with two more approved in Hubballi and Koppal. NITI Aayog recommends one ATS per district, a goal Karnataka aims to meet soon. Currently, only government vehicles over 15 years are mandatorily scrapped, while private vehicles can continue with fitness certificates. Public awareness and better incentives are needed to improve scrapping rates.
