App-based bus aggregator scheme giant leap towards pollution-free Delhi: Minister

Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot on Wednesday said the Government’s app-based premium bus aggregator scheme is a “giant leap towards a pollution-free Delhi” after he inspected the first lot of buses launched under the initiative.

The Delhi Motor Vehicles Licensing of Aggregator (Premium Buses) Scheme, which aims to reduce intra-city usage of private vehicles and pollution in the national capital, was notified last year. The scheme introduces the nation’s first-ever aggregator scheme exclusively tailored for premium buses. Gahlot inspected the first lot of buses of Uber at Rajghat Depot.
