DTC'S AGEING BUSES CREATE TRAFFIC AND COMMUTER WOES

The Sunday Guardian

|

October 08, 2023

'The number of daily breakdowns sometimes is as high as 400 in the whole of Delhi, but on an average, it's around 200'.

- TIKAM SHARMA & RAHUL GAHLAWAT

With an average 200 breakdowns every day, including both in depot as well as on roads, the ageing fleet of Delhi Transport Corporation's CNG buses is struggling to serve the 3.3 million daily city passengers, besides posing safety hazards to road users by forcing traffic jams.

The wear and tear of the 3,360 CNG buses has had a bearing on their condition even as the retiring CNG-run buses, bought between 2008 and 2011 ahead of the Commonwealth Games, gradually make way for new electric variants.

After 2011 till 2022, no new CNG-run buses were added to DTC fleet despite the fact that many of the vehicles have logged over 7.6 lakh kms or served for over 12 years-parameters used to fix a vehicle's life cycle.
