How is Delhi Transportation?

hello

Formerly known as Delhi Transport Service, it was formed by the Indian Government for local bus service as the then service provider Gwalior and Northern India Transport Company Ltd was providing inadequate services.

Delhi has significant reliance on its transport infrastructure. The city has developed a highly efficient public transport system with the introduction of the Delhi Metro,[1] which is undergoing a rapid modernization and expansion as of 2006

Roads in Delhi are maintained by Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), Delhi Cantonment Board (DCB), Public Works Department (PWD) and Delhi Development Authority (DDA).

In the year 1950, it was reconstituted as ‘Delhi Road Transport Authority’ under the Road Transport Corporation Act. It became an undertaking of Municipal Corporation of Delhi in April 1958 and of the Indian government in 1971. Finally, in November 1971, the Delhi Transportation Corporation was transferred to the Government of National Capital Territory, Delhi.

At 1749 km of road length per 100 km², Delhi has one of the highest road densities in India. Major roadways include the Ring Road and the Outer Ring Road, which had a traffic density of 110,000 vehicles per day in 2001.

Total road length of Delhi was 28,508 km including 388 km of National Highways. Major road-based public transport facilities in Delhi are provided by DTC buses, auto-rickshaws, taxis and cycle-rickshaws.

Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) operates the world's largest fleet of CNG-powered buses. After Pune, Delhi was the second city in India to have an operational Bus rapid transit (BRT) system.

For small distances or big, DTC buses are the most inexpensive means of commuting. The tickets for the A/C buses are priced at maximum 25 INR and non A/C buses at 15 INR.

The DTC operates from two buses, the Red coloured buses which is an A/C bus and green coloured buses which are non A/C.

Delhi is well connected by bus and even though it is a cheap means of transport, buses can get very crowded, especially during peak hours. Most buses are government run and are operated by the DTC (Delhi Transport Corporation) and are either red (air-conditioned) or green (non air-conditioned). Bus routes are not properly displayed at bus stops and the best way to find your way around is to check the route online or by asking people.

A fact that very few people know about is that the orange buses operating across the NCR are not owned by the DTC. They are privately owned by Delhi Transit Corporation.

Delhi has one of India's largest bus transport systems. Buses are the most popular means of transport catering to about 60% of Delhi's total demand.[12] Buses are operated by the state-owned Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC), which owns largest fleet of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-fueled buses in the world,

With 733 routes in its network system, the DTC very well connects most parts of NCR.

The New Delhi metro system is the newest form of public transportation in the city, and rapidly becoming the most popular. It has been touted as Asia’s best rapid transit system. It is fast, efficient, fairly priced and environmentally friendly.

In 1948, the Indian government took over the then inadequate bus service operator, Gwalior and Northern India Transport Company Ltd, and renamed it as Delhi Transport Service.
