The Delhi Government has begun subjecting its aged buses to random fitness tests based on odd-even rotation to ensure that they keep in line with the required safety standards.
Ashish Kundra, transport secretary-cum-commissioner, said the buses — the ones owned by the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) and those plying under the cluster scheme — are being tested at the DTC facility in south-west Delhi’s Jhuljhuli. Barring a few buses, the entire 3,700-strong fleet of the public transporter is “overaged”.
