The Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport (NMMT) has set a new example by making positive changes that not only reduce their expenses and use of fuels, but also make for an environment-friendly move.

The transport body in January this year launched an initiative to run only CNG and electric buses on weekends in a bid to cut costs which has saved them around Rs 3 crore so far. With the move being a success, NMMT has now started doing the same on public holidays too.
