Delhi govt approves 10 pc discount in fares of DTC, cluster buses on tickets purchased through app
India TV NewsThe Delhi government approved a 10-per cent discount in the fares of the DTC and cluster buses on Saturday on tickets purchased through its e-ticketing mobile application. The city government's contact less e-ticketing app, which also shows the expected time of arrival of buses and information about the nearest available electric vehicle charging stations, is available in both English and Hindi. Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot hailed the decision as a "welcome step, especially in the middle of the ongoing pandemic, to reduce spread through surface contact". I am hoping that the state-of-the-art buses, with increased surveillance and safety features and right incentives like the ones we are offering through e-ticketing apps and the Common Mobility card, will be a much-needed push for Delhiites to adopt public transport as their default mode of transport," a statement quoted him as saying.
