But, the next big innovation in public transportation may yet turn out to be the return of the humble bus — one with a shorter wheelbase and about half the capacity of a normal Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) bus. The State government is in the process of reviewing a proposal to operate 200 mini-buses in a number of residential pockets in the city and its suburbs.
