NEW DELHI, 18 March (H.S.) :

Transport Minister Pankaj Singh informed that over 1,000

new buses will be introduced on the streets of Delhi from April 1. He said that

more than 2,000 cluster buses and approximately 3,000 older DTC buses will be

gradually taken off the roads in the near future. He emphasized that to

minimize any disruption to the public, efforts will be made to deploy as many

new buses as possible.

The transport minister said that the city is set to receive

between 1,500 and 2,000 new buses, all of which will be electric. He emphasized

that only electric buses will operate in Delhi, and the existing CNG buses will

be phased out once their operational period concludes. He expressed confidence

that the revenue for the DTC would rise, leading to improved transportation

services for the public.

He criticized the previous administration for its

mismanagement, which he claimed resulted in losses for the Delhi Transport

Corporation (DTC). Furthermore, he assured that the bus service would be free

from corruption and confirmed the continuation of the complimentary bus service

for women.
