New TNSTC built on Bus Body Code
First of all a great applause to the team who worked in bringing this beauty on road. New Bus built on bus body code by TNSTC on its TNSTC Tiruppur Udumalaipettai body building unit. Prototype buses were built by TNSTC Karur Manmangalam unit based on prototype TNSTC Tiruppur has built new buses. This bus is running between Tiruppur to Erode operated by TNSTC Tiruppur Palladam branch. Pros and cons of the new bus.
Pros
Built Quality is topnotch and finish is simply superb.
Neat Finishing in front profile
Seats gap have been increased and easy accessible.
Seats Quality is improved from the past.
Cons
Air Ventilation on top is missing need 3 ventilation to overcome our climatic conditions.
Seats near rear emergency exits should be removed for easy access.
Rear Designs should be completely change the route board on top should be placed below and rear glass should be breakable on emergencies
overall a good finish from the past still new buses on way so our units will make attention more on bus building.
