Delhi Government Initiates Trial Run of Mohalla Bus Service

The Delhi government has launched the trial run of its ambitious Mohalla Bus Service, marking a significant step towards improving last-mile connectivity and accessibility in the national capital. This initiative is part of efforts to augment public transport options and address commuter needs at the neighbourhood level.

The trial phase will evaluate the operational feasibility, efficiency, and passenger response to the new bus service across selected routes in Delhi. The Mohalla Bus Service aims to cater to local residents by providing convenient and affordable transportation solutions within their neighbourhoods.

Designed to complement existing public transport networks, including the Delhi Metro and DTC buses, the initiative seeks to reduce congestion on roads and promote sustainable urban mobility. It aims to encourage more people to opt for public transport, thereby reducing private vehicle usage and mitigating traffic-related issues in the city.

The introduction of the Mohalla Bus Service underscores the Delhi government's commitment to enhancing urban transportation infrastructure and improving overall mobility options for residents. It aligns with broader objectives of promoting inclusive and accessible public transport systems that cater to the diverse needs of Delhi's population.

During the trial period, authorities will gather feedback from commuters and stakeholders to fine-tune service operations and address any logistical challenges. The success of the initiative is expected to pave the way for its expansion across additional neighbourhoods, ultimately contributing to a more efficient and sustainable urban transport ecosystem in Delhi.
