Bus Aggregator Scheme In Delhi: Under the scheme, an aggregator will be required to ensure the safety and security of women passengers and provide a rapid response mechanism, including a panic button on its app that should be functional at all times and have modalities of API-based integration with law enforcement agencies.
The scheme calls for a modal shift in public transportation for intra-city bus journeys. The buses that will come to be a part of the initiative will have exceptional quality, comfort, and reliability, and will lead to a reduction in congestion and air pollution, the government said.
Delhi Transport Corporation: After January 1, 2025 the induction of only electric buses shall be allowed, no CNG-operated bus even if having BS-VI compliance shall be allowed to be inducted.
The Delhi government has finalized a draft scheme for a premium bus service that will allow people to book reserved seats through a mobile app. The scheme aims to reduce intra-city trips in private cars and provide a convenient and efficient public transport service. The buses will be air-conditioned, standing passengers will not be allowed, and the operators will have to meet regulations set by the transport department. The fare will be displayed on the app, and passengers can lodge complaints through the app as well. The scheme is expected to encourage people to choose cleaner and more comfortable public transport options.
