Delhi Unveils New Bus Routes to Boost Public Transport in Underserved Areas

The Delhi government has launched two new bus routes and increased the frequency of an existing route to improve public transport in underserved areas. This initiative aims to provide reliable transportation for schoolchildren and daily commuters, focusing on connecting rural villages with urban centers.

The Delhi government took a significant step on Sunday to enhance the public transportation system by introducing two new bus routes and increasing the frequency on an existing route. The initiative primarily targets underserved areas in the city, aiming to offer better connectivity.

Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot, alongside Bijwasan MLA Bhupinder Singh Joon, launched the 892 SPL, a dedicated service designed for schoolchildren. Running two services each in the morning and afternoon, it covers a 6.5-kilometre journey from Dhoolsiras Village to Chhawla School, aligning with school schedules.

Another addition, route 892 STL, aims to connect villages like Nanak Heri to urban centers such as Dwarka Sector-10. Covering approximately 19 kilometres, it links important stops including Dwarka Sector-21 metro station, Chhawla Village, and the BSF camp, thus offering a reliable transport option for daily commuters.
