DTC to run extra buses from 7:30 AM on Bhai Dooj
New Delhi: To prevent passengers in Delhi from facing a shortage of buses and long waits during the Bhai Dooj festival, the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) has made special arrangements. In view of the expected rise in the number of passengers using public transport on Wednesday, November 11, as sisters travel to and from homes to celebrate the festival, the corporation has decided to put all scheduled buses on the roads. Under this, regular operation of CNG and electric buses will be ensured.
According to DTC instructions, all depot managers have been asked to keep adequate drivers and conductors available for bus operations. Regional managers have also been directed to deploy checking staff at major bus stands, terminals and places with heavy crowds. These staff members will monitor the availability and operation of buses so that immediate arrangements can be made as required.
On the festival day, additional buses will be made available from 7:30 AM at major bus stands and in areas with high passenger pressure. Extra buses will also be operated during the evening rush hours according to passenger numbers. The corporation’s objective is to maintain bus availability on major routes and save passengers from long waits.
Meanwhile, the facility of free bus travel for eligible women passengers in Delhi will continue. Use of the Pink Saheli Smart Card is mandatory for this. The facility is available in DTC and cluster air-conditioned as well as ordinary buses.
DTC has issued instructions for monitoring at depot and regional levels to ensure safe and convenient travel during the festival.
