Delhi gov banned blue line buses.

I know that some of us really agree that blue lines causing many accident but please see this-

1. almost 1600 buses banned this means- Approx 1600*2*2*3=19200
perons will loose their earnings.
Here 1600 buses,2 shifts daily, 2 person work in a bus and approx 3 family members attached to every such person.

2. Is d only blue line rspnsbl for accident- means what about accident by dtc, by drunkers, by rash drivers, bcoz of bad roads.

I m not against the thinking of gov but- Is it right policy to banned out a certain group without giving any substitute source of income.

The step of gov will increase crime..

If gov is not able to implement good traffic rules gov itself responsible for such.

Think once if the decision of gov correct- in future govt can banned ny particular community to hide its inefficieny.

plz comment

New Delhi: The blueline buses, which earned notoriety for reckless driving, will be off the Delhi roads completely from December 14. This was announced today by Delhi Transport Minister Arvinder Singh Lovely after a meeting he had with blueline bus operators here.

"December 14 will be the last day for blueline buses in Delhi...We cannot leave people of Delhi at the mercy of blueline buses," Lovely said.

There are around 2,400 blueline buses operating in the capital of which 1,600 where shunted out ahead of the Commonwealth Games earlier this month. Around 8,000 employees were dependent on these buses for their livelihood.

Out of the 1,600 buses to be shunted out, 835 were allowed to ply in non-NDMC areas from last week but its permit will also be revoked by this weekend.

"Government will issue a notification later this week in this regard. These 835 buses which have got permit will be taken off the roads by this weekend," Lovely said.

This leaves only around blueline 800 buses to ply in the capital till December 14.

Asked about the pending case in Delhi High Court regarding phasing out of blueline buses, he said the Government was confident that the court will accept its decision. "We will apprise the High Copurt about the decision," he said.

The Delhi High Court had stayed the Government's move to phase out the blueline buses in February this year arguing that the DTC alone was not capable to meet the requirement of public transport.

The government was trying to get rid of private buses in the capital and replace them with a new fleet of DTC buses in the past couple of years.

Over 1,000 new low-floor buses, which were used to ferry athletes and dignitaries during the Games, have now been included in DTC's fleet. The DTC will also induct more buses in its fleet in the coming days.

This, the sources say, will be put on various city routes currently covered by the blueline buses.

That is correct,

But as Govt. increases DTC buses then also vacancies are open for employing drivers and conductors and other staff.

And DTC maintains some discipline in traffic than Blue-Line Bus.

So the Decision is correct.

partly agree with manish malhotra..........

as government also make provision of jobs of blueline bus drivers, conductors etc. in DTC buses.......

and also ask from the one who travels by blueline bus on routine basis, the way they suffer, the insecurity they feel (theft, robbery etc.), the inconvenience they suffer from, the rude behavior of conductor etc.

actually the situation is improving (slowly though) from the date incidents start last year (more than 100 persons killed by blueline bus) till now...........

@ Manish- First the proportion of unemployment will be brought down by the number of recruitments by DTC. Second it will improve transport problem in neighbouring areas like manesar and beyond(frm gurgaon end),pari chowk on noida end,as the buses earlier taken off frm delhi after implementation of 15 year role went to small places like these. And the bluelines taken out frm delhi will be sold by the owners either to chartered bus operators or in some small town

And we cannot wholly blame govt for every sundry act of each and every person of society. We too are equally responsible for what happens in our society,blue` liners were a menace. And they wud go to any extent to increase their earnings.U travel in a bus in east delhi and it was like redemption when u get down frm it.

And yes I think the govt was wrong in delegating the task of public transportation in private hands in1992 itself,now i think its the mistake is rectified..
