Hindustan Times , New Delhi, Feb 2017: The
National Green Tribunal directed Delhi government on Thursday to reduce traffic
congestion on the city roads and introduce destination buses to improve air
quality in the Capital. The green court said the introduction of point-to-point
buses would facilitate individuals to opt for the service rather than drive a
car alone on highly congested roads. “The traffic on the roads of Delhi needs
to be reduced by taking various measures that have already been directed to be
taken by various authorities including introduction of destination buses which
could certainly help, particularly the middle class and single driver from
opting for destination buses rather than driving a car individually on highly
congested roads of Delhi,” a bench headed by NGT chairperson Justice Swatanter
Kumar said.
