**Nagercoil Gets New Low-Floor Buses for Enhanced Accessibility**
**NAGERCOIL, October 12, 2025** – Twenty-one new low-floor buses were officially launched in Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu, on Sunday, promising increased accessibility and convenience for passengers, especially those with disabilities. The launch ceremony was presided over by Minister for Milk & Dairy Development, T. Mano Thangaraj.
The buses boast features like ramps, digital display boards, announcement systems, and dedicated wheelchair spaces. A kneeling mechanism allows the bus to lower by 60mm at stops, further easing boarding and alighting for passengers with mobility challenges. Mr. Thangaraj highlighted the 400mm ground clearance and the inclusion of a Fire Detection Suppression System.
These additions to the Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation’s Nagercoil zone fleet, which already serves over 1 million daily passengers with 737 buses, will operate on routes connecting Marthandam-Vadasery, Vadasery-Kanniyakumari, Anna bus stand-Colachel and Vadasery-Koodankulam. District Collector R. Alagumeena and other dignitaries attended the event.
