It is safe to say that you are one of the individuals who, similar to me, are concerned that Delhi's open transport framework is not prepared to simply ahead and actualize the odd-even plan?

Well, this might be some news which can cool your nerves then. Delhi government has decided to tie up with Google and Twitter to provide real-time information about buses starting from January 1. This move is meant to make sure that people don’t face problems with using the public transport system .

Delhi Transport Minister Gopal Rai said, "Government is in talks with the officials of Google and Twitter to provide a real time information of public transport like routes of buses in a particular area."

“With this, people will easily get to know about bus information through the link to be available on Twitter and Google,” Rai added

For instance, a person getting off at the metro station in unknown area, will be able to search bus routes on Google and Twitter

In order to ensure better bus service during odd-even formula, Delhi government will also ply 6,000 additional buses, including 2,000 school buses, during the 15-day trial period of this scheme.

Chief Arvind Kejriwal and his cabinet minister have already announced that they will follow the odd-even formula being implemented to prevent pollution level in the National Capital.

The odd-even scheme may never stop

Delhi Home Minister Satyendar Jain, who has been appointed the nodal minister on anti-pollution measures, recently said that depending on the success of odd-even scheme, the initiative may “go on till infinity”.

Buses would ply on a dedicated lane from January 1.

The decision to implement the odd-even formula could be taken by the ruling AAP government as it was ready to “take risks” unlike other governments, he had said.
