NEW DELHI: The New Delhi Municipal Council has planned to hire buses from the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) to transport its employees involved in essential services during the Covid-19 lockdown period.
The civic agency has written to DTC for seven low-floor, non-airconditioned buses that will run on seven routes and cover all far-flung areas.
“These buses are likely to pick up staff from designated spots near their houses and drop them back there. Those living at the border areas can also take these buses. These will run on a trial basis on Wednesday and Thursday and the final decision will be taken based on the feedback,” said an NDMC official.
The routes and stops will be at the discretion of NDMC and the buses will cater exclusively to its employees.
The routes are Palam-Moti Bagh-Palika Kendra, Badarpur Border-Mehruali-Palika Kendra, Khajoori-Karawal Nagar-Moti Bagh, Sultanpuri-Nehru Park-Moti Bagh, Harsh Vihar-Dilshad Garden-Moti Bagh, Narela-Palika Kendra, and Nangloi Depot-Palike Kendra.
