SNT BUSES TO UNDERGO A FACELIFT
GANGTOK, September 6: The light blue blues ran by the Sikkim Nationalised Transport (SNT) will soon undergo a much-needed make-over.
The Transport Department, in an effort to revamp one of the oldest institutions of the State, has decided to go for a change in the colour scheme and logo of its fleet of buses.
A proposal seeking approval in this regard was placed by the Department before the State Cabinet here on September 4.
The meeting decided that the colour of the SNT buses should be that of the traditional SNT colour of blue and grey, with blue on the upper portion and metallic shining grey on the lower half.
As far as the logo is concerned, it was decided that it should be of one brand only, either of the snow lion or the red panda and not both, as it is as of now.
Although the general consensus was that it should be of snow lion, as it was in the past, the Cabinet approved ‘red panda’ as the logo.
It was also decided that the colour coding and the logo should be adopted in a phased manner so as to defray the cost of one time conversion.
