Delhi Metro to run at peak frequency during odd-even vehicle rule

NEW DELHI: Delhi Metro will run at the highest possible frequency during the odd-even vehicle restriction period from January 1 to 15, Delhi home minister Satyender Jain said on Saturday.

He said that depending on its success, the initiative may “go on till infinity”. Buses would ply on a dedicated lane from January 1, he added. However, the DMRC officials said, “We have nothing to add officially after what the minister has said”.

“50% seats will be reserved for ladies in around 2,000 school buses that are being inducted temporarily into the public transport fleet,” he said speaking at an interaction at the Indian Women’s Press Corps. Jain said BRT project was scrapped due to its faulty design.
