The Morning Standard
|April 24, 2025
In a step towards curbing revenue losses in buses' operations, the Delhi Transport Department is set to introduce Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) cameras in its upcoming fleet of electric buses.
Officials said the new system will debut with the launch of Mohalla EV buses under the Delhi Electric Vehicles Interface (DEVI) scheme in the coming days.
According to officials, the APC cameras will be installed at both entry and exit doors of these nine-meter-long low-floor electric buses.
The sensors and counters embedded in the cameras will automatically record the number of passengers boarding and exiting from the bus during each shift.
