West Bengal Chief Minister Flag-off (Left) Mamata Banerjee inaugurate double - two decker buses in Kolkata on October 13, 2020. The double-decker buses were introduced in the 1920s. The erstwhile Left Front government phased them out in the early 1990s. In 2005, the last bus went off city roads. In 2011, after coming to power, Banerjee directed the transport department to bring back the iconic buses.The new buses will have features like automatic doors, destination boards, panic buttons and CCTV cameras. While the old buses used to have two doors, these will have one door. Of the 51 seats, there will be 16 on the upper deck. (Photo by Debajyoti Chakraborty/NurPhoto)
