I can remember that in these buses, there was a big wooden box in rear of driver's seat. this is called as "battery pettiya" or battery box. this is where the battery was installed. This was a huge box about 3*3*3 foot. Two passengers can sit on it or keep their luggage.
ReplyDeleteIn school days we used put our school bags on it and have a good chat with the driver.
I think it will be better if you can publish some thing about this battery box since it was a remarkable feature in these buses
Thank you
