The Yamunanagar fleet currently consists of 159 buses operating across rural, state, and interstate routes. This diverse fleet includes air-conditioned, electric, pink, and ordinary buses. During the launch event, officials mentioned that the city currently operates five electric buses, with plans to add 50 more units in the coming months to modernize local transport.
