Editor's Notes
- #3: MoUD came up with a funding scheme and expected them to operate the buses. A lot of cities which had govt companies had prior knowledge of bus operations, but many were getting buses for the first time – they got the buses, but didn’t know what to do with them. That’s where the original Bus Karo guidebook came in handy.
