He said, “One wheelers and school buses will be exempt from the scheme, since the Government doesn’t have a strong enough public transport system to support the scheme.” The Delhi Government said that for this new phase, 3000 extra buses will be added to ease the pressure on the citizens, despite statistics showing that in the previous phase during Jan 1-Jan 15, there was an increase of only 5% on bus commute and 0.4% on Metro commute. He said the statistics show the modus operandi employed by most citizens during the first phase was to car-pool.
The Delhi Govt is also in advanced stage of discussions of creating an elevated BRT corridor for buses and cars separately, that could substantially cut down the travel time within the city. The plans for this elevated BRT corridor will be finalised in the next few weeks.
