Delhi govt to roll out app-based premium bus service

In a bid to encourage the use of public transport system, the Aam Aadmi Party government has planned to introduce app-based premium inter-city bus services for people travelling to and from neighbouring cities like Gurgaon, Ghaziabad and Noida for work. It is also working on a scheme called the Delhi motor vehicle aggregator licencing (premium bus) scheme.

“We wish to provide this premium bus service so that people leave their private vehicles behind and use public transport. The Delhi government will collaborate with aggregators to operate premium buses in the city. All citizens who make inter-city trips every day should opt for a cleaner, comfortable and equally efficient mode of public transport,” Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said, adding that all buses under this scheme will be fully electric.
