The Delhi Government on Wednesday announced that it would introduce premium buses equipped with state-of-the-art facilities in the national Capital. The service will be app-based.
Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal took to Twitter to inform Delhiites about the development. In a series of tweets he wrote: “We wish to provide good quality premium bus service so that people leave their private vehicles and use public transport. Discussed App-based bus aggregator scheme with the Transport Dept. We will seek public feedback on the same.” “How to use existing fleet of buses in Delhi most efficiently? How many more buses do we need? How to integrate all modes of transport? Today, I had discussion with senior officials of transport dept the “Route rationalisation” proposal. We will soon seek public feedback on the same,” Chief Minister said in another tweet.
“All the buses will be BS-VI compliant, Air Conditioned, CNG or electric buses only. All buses inducted under this scheme after January 1, 2024, shall be only electric. The tickets will be made available through mobile & web-based applications. The fares and routes will be clearly highlighted on the app,” he said.
