Free Delhi Metro e-bus service to Central Vista for a week

NEW DELHI: Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) will provide free bus services for a week from Friday for visitors to Central Vista.
People can board the electric buses from four pickup points — Bhairon Marg, Raj Ghat, Connaught Place (near Palika parking) and Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium — for going to India Gate or Central Vista, said Anuj Dayal, principal executive director of corporate communications at DMRC.
“This facility will be available initially for a week,” Dayal said. The electric buses will drop off visitors at gate number 1 of National Stadium at C Hexagon, from where one can walk to India Gate or Central Vista, he added. “A total of 12 buses will be operated from 5pm and the last pickup will be at 9pm,” he said. The buses will also bring back passengers from Central Vista to these points.
DMRC will deploy the mini electric buses that are used for last-mile connectivity from its select stations. There will be no charge for using the buses as the facility is being provided as a temporary arrangement.
The stretch from Rashtrapati Bhavan to India Gate will have red granite walkways with greenery all around, refurbished canals, state-wise food stalls, new amenity blocks and vending kiosks.
