Maheshwar Das

Maheshwar Das is the head of the Planning and Technical Department of the Transport Institute in Nepal. He played a pivotal role in analyzing the operational viability of the trolleybus service that was established in 1975 and eventually ceased operations in 2010. His reports highlighted significant issues such as management inefficiencies, financial losses, and the aging fleet of trolleybuses, which contributed to the service's decline. Das's insights shed light on the challenges faced by public transportation in Nepal, particularly the struggle between state-run services and the growing influence of private transport operators.
