The eco-friendly cars, plying along the most frequented 2-km route from Darjeeling Mall to the Zoo, is aimed at projecting a tourist-friendly image of the picturesque Hills to the domestic and foreign tourists.
The battery backed vehicles that have been brought from Bangalore will provide conducted tour ride to the tourists from the Gorkha Ranga Manch Bhawan along the Mall stretch till the Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park (PNHZP) also known as Darjeeling zoo.
"We have started the service from today keeping the tourists in mind. However, the locals can also take the ride if they want. Since the vehicle will be operated by batteries, it becomes environment friendly," GTA Chief Executive Bimal Gurung said.
Another vehicle has been allotted for Kalimpong where it will run in and around the Dello area. "We have given one such vehicle to Kalimpong. There it will run from Dello and its surrounding area covering a radius of 10 to 15 km," said Gurung.
Initially the idea behind inducting the cars were to provide some sort of travelling options for the aged and differently-abled persons who walk through the Mall to reach their homes and offices or for leisure.
However, now the service has been extended to the tourists who walk from Chowrastha, the Hill's popular promenade to the Darjeeling zoo and even locals can avail it.
