The Delhi government on Sunday introduced two bus routes and increased the frequency of an existing one in a bid to improve public transportation, particularly in underserved areas.
Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot, in the presence of Bijwasan MLA Bhupinder Singh Joon, flagged off the 892 SPL — a dedicated service for schoolchildren.
It will run two services each in the morning and the afternoon to align with school schedules, covering a 6.5-kilometre stretch from Dhoolsiras Village to Chhawla School, a statement said.
The other new route, 892 STL, is aimed at connecting villages such as Nanak Heri to urban hubs, including Dwarka Sector-10.
The service will span approximately 19 kilometres, linking key stops such as Dwarka Sector-21 metro station, Chhawla Village, and the BSF camp, and aims to offer a reliable transport option for daily commuters, the statement said.
The government has also increased the frequency of buses on the 716 route, which runs from Shivaji Stadium to Dhoolsiras.
