It's almost one and a half years back when I interviewed the DTC transport officer and I reached to a conclusion that the high capacity buses running in Delhi will be a part of Delhi's transport slowly and steadily up till 2010 before the Common wealth games.
And what now I think that 'slowly and steadily' has vanished away somewhere after almost one and a half years too we just have one single service of high capacity buses running on the same route 620 in between Hauz Khas and Connaught Place.
And today when our dear killer Blueline buses are off from the road (Sorry not Killer buses, these are poor buses killers are the drivers who drives rashly) poor public is keen to hold even the window of the bus and reach the office or to the required destination.
Bus stops are loaded with public to get just one single bus and reach the destination….
What effort has been taken in this one and half years to improve the transport system?
And our poor Delhi Metro has to again run a bit faster than its scheduled gap time of 6 – 8 minutes. Great isn't it!
Imagine people commuting to Gurgaon, Specially the Karol Bagh bus stand near the ridge area; the starting point of the bus service loaded with passengers but not a single bus could be found there. A bus every half an hour cannot load as much passengers gathered at the stand.
Going to places like Gurgaon, Noida, Faridabad is a big problem for people today. The frequency of the buses is very LOW. So, the cab drivers commuting from these places take full advantage of their cabs.
Great way of earning, while being a full time employee of a company. But it doesn't go one way it is from both sides. People also feel comfortable traveling in a cab as a cheaper and much faster means of transport then a DTC bus; that crawls and covers the same journey in almost one and a half hour which a cab driver covers the same distance in almost 45 minutes.
What's New?
You know what the latest news is: "A company Cab driver and car both are missing."
And the mystery is still unfolded. That is the cab driver has ran away with car or someone else has done that."
So, what I shall say now: Poor public a cab has been decreased from their traveling distance.
All is well everyone is trying to find their own solutions but what is the permanent solution of this situation? I think it is all left on GOD and TIME!
Hoping for a well transport system by year 2009 or shall we exactly say 2010. Till then enjoy holding the bus window. Keep struggling to reach the door and I hope by the time we learn to reach the door of the bus new buses will be on road…
So Hope for the best and leave the rest…………….
