Ashok Leyland, the Chennai-based $ 2 billion commercial vehicles major launched iBus (Intelligent Bus) in AutoExpo 2008. Designed by a team of “young turks”, it is an innovative bus that plans to provide
- convenience,
- comfort, and
- connectivity
for the Internet generation. The costs are Indian, but the features are international; a bold attempt from the company that is considered “laid back” and making products with “pedastrian features”. It will be interesting to see such bases changing the face of Indian public transportation.
