DTC adds more bus depots for Commonwealth Games!

Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) is planning to have 15 more bus depots before 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi.
'CCTV cameras would also be installed in all DTC bus depots to ensure security during the 2010 CWG.

Tth 15 new depots, the total number of DTC depots would reach 50 with multi level parking capacity of 6,000 buses. Construction works in seven new depots are going on and these depots, hopefully would be functional by November 2009.
DTC plans would be to add 2,500 more low floor CNG buses to its existing fleet by March 2010 and the delivery of new buses will start next month with 150 buses joining the DTC fleet.
Of these 2,500, 1,000 are low floor air-conditioned buses while 1,500 will be normal low floor CNG buses. Besides this, 625 new low floor buses would be added in the DTC fleet.
DTC has started the process of purchasing 1,000 new semi-low floor buses, he said, adding they would have a state-of-art passenger information system and global positioning system for the convenience of commuters. As many as 574 low floor buses would be in the Commonwealth Games Village for the sports persons.
'All buses will be equipped with automatic vehicle ticketing system and with new logo of Commonwealth Games.



Now this is excellent in theory but will the Delhites leave these buses in good condition come October 2010?

This remains to be seen. This is an extremely good development for Delhi and especially its disabled.
