AIIMS Delhi to Roll Out Electric Buses for Better Last-Mile Connectivity

AIIMS Delhi will soon launch electric buses offering last-mile connectivity to patients and their caregivers. The service aims to address issues such as long walks and expensive auto-rickshaws within the hospital’s sprawling campus. The e-buses will be air-conditioned, low-floor, wheelchair-accessible, and have designated stops for convenience.

AIIMS, Delhi is set to introduce electric buses to enhance last-mile connectivity for patients, attendants, and caregivers from bus and rail transit points to key areas within the sprawling hospital campus.

Geared to address problems like long walks and costly auto-rickshaws, the e-buses will feature around 20 seats, air conditioning, and low floors for easy boarding, along with wheelchair accommodation if needed, according to a Tuesday office memorandum.

A patient app will provide real-time information on bus arrival times, ensuring an efficient and comfortable transit experience within AIIMS, said Dr. M Srinivas, Director of the premier hospital.
