Cityflo, operated by Komorebi Tech Solutions, has partnered with Globus Trans Solutions LLP to launch 'Urban Glide' - a move towards modernising Mumbai's public transportation. This joint venture aims to revolutionise the city's bus transit system by introducing a fleet of electric buses under a new operational model. Urban Glide will operate under the Gross Cost Contract (GCC) model, a system in which private entities manage daily bus operations while the government retains control over routes and fares. This model, successfully implemented in countries like Singapore and the UK, ensures efficient service delivery while maintaining public oversight.
