In a strategic move to optimize Delhi's public transportation, Transport Minister Pankaj Singh underscored the need for a dynamic route rationalisation programme. By engaging DTC bus drivers and related personnel, the initiative is set to reshape the passenger experience.
A collaborative study with IIT Delhi focuses on a comprehensive redesign of the city's bus routes, integrating data-driven methodologies to cover crucial areas like the East, West, and North Zones.
