Bus Fare Hike By Delhi Transport Corporation

Hi all,

Finally DTC has increased the local bus fares max. to 15 rs.
And the controvercy also arised for this decision of Delhi Government.

The fare hike decision doesn't seem the justified one, as no additional comfort or quality service is being provided to travellers.
The uncourteous conductors and the pity condition of Yellow Buses are as usual. And there isn't any fix time service of the buses. Many buses are parked idle at depots instead of running on roads. What's the point to raise the fare if the services are not being improved?? Delhi Governmentis now very close to host Common Wealth Games, but are the DTC crew well trained for hosting???

I don't know what's the exact point to increase the fares.
1) Is DTC running under loss?
2) Or Sheila jee wants to standarised the DTC services to the international standards?

If the cause is second point then where is the facilities and services in return of fare hiking??

If the cause is first point then I think the loss can be recovered by other means and not of raising fares; such as cost cutting, sending buses on road instead of depot parking and controlling the ticketing fraud(as we know most of conductors don't give tickets to the travellers at the time of evening as there is less chances of checking)

Delhitians are already woed by different types of price increasing.
I think these types of activities are not favorable for Sheila Dixit and Congress.
