The Viking is one of the oldest nameplates currently used by Ashok Leyland, having been introduced in 1976 for their LPO buses.
In 1997, the company decided to develop a low-floor bus based on the Viking chassis. For the first time in 2003, the Bombay Electric Supply & Transport (BEST) added Semi Low Floor (SLF) Viking buses to their fleet. However, it took another 7–8 years for Kolkata to introduce these BS3 emission-compliant SLF Viking buses for urban commuting under the JNNURM scheme.
Today, these SLF Viking buses have become increasingly rare on the streets, as they have been phased out from most routes due to their large size, high maintenance costs, low fuel efficiency, and expensive spare parts.
However, Route 24A/1 appears to be the only bus route in Kolkata that exclusively operates these massive Voxel buses, running between Howrah and Mukundapur. In this video, I document my journey on this unique bus route.
