The Delhi government has prepared a 20-point agenda for the current year to augment public transport infrastructure in the city. The agenda includes installation of CCTV cameras, GPS, e-ticketing machines in buses and common mobility card.
Transport Minister Gopal Rai will unveil the 20-point agenda, on which the government will be working, early next week.
The Arvind Kejriwal government wants to ensure augmentation of public transport before the implementation of the odd-even scheme at regular intervals. “We have prepared the blueprint of the 20-point agenda to boost public transport infrastructure under which several steps, including purchase of new buses, will be taken in this year,” Rai said.
An official stated that as part of the agenda, installation of CCTV cameras, GPS, construction of cycle tracks will be done. Common mobility card through which a person can travel in both DTC buses and Metro may also be part of this agenda.
At present, around 46,00 DTC and 1,500 cluster buses ply in the national Capital.
The Transport Minister added that under 20-point agenda, the government will ensure the overall development of public transport infrastructure so that people don’t have to face problem while using public transport.
