Tamil Nadu’s Transport Minister says Chief Minister Vijay has directed that government buses across the state should have air-conditioning facilities. The minister’s statements link the directive to a broader wish for newer buses to include AC features, reflecting the push to upgrade public transport amenities. The reports indicate that the order covers government buses currently in operation as well as new buses, with the aim of ensuring uniform availability of AC facilities. The information is presented as coming directly from the Transport Minister, citing the Chief Minister’s direction and expectations for bus standards. No specific timeline, cost details, or implementation plan are provided in the available excerpts. The reports also do not specify whether AC installation applies to all routes and bus categories in the same way, or whether exemptions could apply. Overall, both sources characterize the development as a government decision to make AC a standard feature for Tamil Nadu’s government bus fleet and future procurement.
