Delhi Has Only Half Its Requirement Of 11,000 Buses, Number Of Private Vehicles Rising
New Delhi:More than 46 lakh people use public transport, specifically buses, every day in Delhi. To meet this demand, there are 5,216 Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) buses and another 1,000 under the cluster bus scheme, but the numbers are woefully short for the city and just halfway to the transport department’s estimated requirement of 11,000 buses in 2010.

Only Pick-Up And Drop-Off Points To Be Provided At Stations
New Delhi: There will be no parking at Phase III Metro stations coming up along Ring Road and Outer Ring Road as space is at a premium in these areas. Instead, there will be designated pick-up and dropoff points at each station, said officials. “A number of stations in line 7, which is the Mukundpur-Shiv Vihar corridor, will be located on Ring Road. Since a parking will require space, we are only planning the station box with utilities. The stations are also being designed to have pick-up and drop-off points,” said a Delhi Metro official.

Cars, autorickshaws and even mini-trucks are using the lane, defying the law with impunity. Those stuck in the car lanes are left to wonder what the BRT is all about when buses can’t have a free run because the law cannot be enforced. How can the government simply abandon the stretch after arguing for it vehemently in court.
