TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS IN DELHI
Delhi Transport Corporation or the
DTC is the main transportation medium
in Delhi. DTC plies all round Delhi with buses at frequent intervals
to ease the commuting of passengers. DTC is the world's largest compressed
natural gas bus service. The service has come a long way since its
inception in the year 1984. Now all buses have been converted into
CNG in order to control the pollution level of the city. Apart from
the bus service of the DTC, there are private Blue Line services which
are under the private hands.
DTC buses are not limited to the periphery of Delhi but the service
is well connected to the neighboring states. Inter state buses are
available at the bus terminals in Delhi.
Among all the bus terminals, ISBT and Anand Vihar bus terminals are
the major ones where you can board buses to Uttranchal, Punjab, Haryana,
and Jammu & Kashmir.

facility in Delhi. it has come as a blessing for the people

is rapidly moving towards a city that would have smooth transport
facility. This is very much evident from the inception of Metro Rail
in Delhi as well as the high capacity buses that are seen running
on the roads of Delhi. Delhi government
has plans to have a separate zone for these high capacity buses. Mono

government to make the transport system a smooth ride for travelers,
