Intrcity Smart Bus AC SOP
Introduction Most common ACs used in Indian buses are HVACs (which stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning). This essentially means that these ACs can both be used for cooling and heating purposes. In rare cases, some operators also opt for ACs with only cooling capabilities as they tend to be slightly cheaper than HVACs. Bus ACs are very similar to room ACs we use in home. Just like rooms ACs, we can set the temperature to our needs and the auto cut-off feature will ensure that the set temperature is maintained throughout. For IntrCity buses, IDEAL AC TEMPERATURE will be 24 °C. KEEPING THE AC SWITCHED ON DURING HALTS For pit stops/bio breaks of ~10 minutes, the AC WILL HAVE TO BE KEPT SWITCHED ON. In case of food halts which are ideally of ~30 minutes, the AC will be SWITCHED OFF after the last passenger deboards. It will…

Do not expect WiFi on Bus to scale!
All SmartBuses have a WiFi box on them. But it is something we do not want to talk about much. We tried different methods, different data connectivity providers, and different hardware – but none could perform to the levels we are all used to experience at home or office. Here are the reasons for the same – Please note that WiFi on any mass-transit vehicle like IntrCity SmartBus has some inherent constraints such as below – Not us, slowness is because of them! – Considering that it is on a moving bus – WiFi relies on the data connectivity provided by mobile operators (e.g. Airtel, Vodafone, etc.) prevalent on your journey route. Every IntrCity route passes through the route sections where we have seen that the connectivity is poor/not available. Also, do keep in mind that the WiFi is not designed for a moving vehicle. It is a shared WiFi – WiFi on this IntrCity bus…

Top 10 things to know about Washrooms on IntrCity SmartBus
Top 10 things to know about Washroom on IntrCity SmartBus – IntrCity SmartBus was the first in India to acknowledge that access to a washroom toilet was the biggest bane in the adoption of buses. To overcome this, SmartBus has a washroom fitted on the bus itself. Every washroom has a toilet commode, wash-basin, and soap liquid. The washroom also has an exhaust fan. Note that the use of the washroom is limited to toilet purposes only. All washrooms are properly cleaned and sanitized at their starting point. Not all the routes may have mid-way cleaning facilities. After each journey – the washroom is professionally cleaned and left to dry for several hours. The operation of the washroom is in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by roadway authorities. Two important aspects of these guidelines are (a) not to use it when the bus is stationary and (b) not to use…
