The Delhi government is considering whether to ban all NCR cabs or allow a limited number during the proposed odd-even traffic restrictions next week. One option being discussed is to allow odd-numbered taxis on odd days and even-numbered ones on even days. Electric vehicles will be exempted from the restrictions. The decision comes after an observation by the Supreme Court. Over one lakh commercial vehicles enter the city daily, with about 30,000-35,000 taxis plying on any given day. The government will submit the outcomes of two studies to determine the effectiveness of the odd-even scheme.
