Summary:
New Delhi: The Delhi government on Friday launched the first phase of the “Connect Delhi” initiative covering the Najafgarh area of the national capital. “Many organisations are involved in managing the Delhi transport system, which includes, but is not limited to, the DTC, DMRC, Transport Department, Delhi Traffic Police etc. “Through ‘Connect Delhi’, the government intends to bring all these organisations together and develop an integrated route rationalisation plan for public transport in Delhi that is conveniently accessible to all,” he said. Speaking to the media, Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot said whenever there was a discussion about buses, it was mostly about the numbers. However, due to spatial distribution of settlements and limited accessible motorable networks, many villages were not yet connected by a well-serviced and reliable public transport network..
