To boost public transport, which will be the lifeline of the city for the five days of the drive, the Delhi Transport Corporation was asked to hire at least 500 buses during this period. However, when asked if the tender process was done for hiring these buses, Kumar said it is yet to be done. DTC’s fleet, at 3,951 buses, is at a seven year low, with no buses being added to its fleet. With cluster buses, the city at present has 5,600 buses against the need of 11,000 as mandated by the high court. MetroThe Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has already increased the frequency of trains from Thursday and said that it will maintain the same frequency during odd-even.
