Transport Bus Buses
are the most popular means of transport catering to about 60% of the total
demand. The state-owned Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) is a major bus
service provider for the city, which operates not-only in Delhi, but also
many inter-states routes. The mofussil buses operate around 34 depots,
and the inter-state buses operate from the three Inter State Bus Terminals
in Kashmere Gate, Sarai Kale Khan and Anand Vihar. DTC coordinates with
Delhi Metro to connect commuters in areas surrounding the metro stations.
The DTC now operates the world's largest fleet of environment-friendly
CNG buses. While the buses in Delhi are very cheap, they have a mixed
safety record and are often overcrowded. In 2007, only 750 of 4500 buses
passed their safety inspections and many were taken off the road for repairs. |
