In a bid to improve the public transportation in the city, the government has planned to start the automated guide transit transportation system in Gurugram.
Considered to be a reasonable and effective substitute to metro transportation system, the Haryana Government plans to introduce this form of movement not only in Gurugram but also in other cities like Faridabad
and Karnal.
The officials in the cities have been given the task to find a suitable location in order to start the public transportation project.
On Tuesday, the Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, along with his officials, met a delegation from Japan to discuss the prospects of setting up the automated guide transportation system in the three cities
of Haryana.
The meeting was held at Haryana Bhawan in New Delhi. There were also senior public officials from Gurugram who attended the meeting.
Based on reports, a list of presentations on the viability of the automated guide transit system was shown to
the Chief Minister and the senior officials.
The Chief Minister of Haryana later tweeted, "Presided over a meeting with a Japanese delegation to seek possibilities for introduction of automated guideway transit system in Gurugram."
Speaking about the newly planned project, a senior Government official said, "The Government is looking at every step to enhance public transportation in the city and reduce the traffic congestion that has become a major challenge in the city."
In the recent past, the Haryana Government had announced a set of measures to enhance the public transportation system in Gurugram.
Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar had recently stated that the Haryana Government plans to develop metro system in the old part of Gurugram and connect it with the Dwarka line.
