In its effort to decongest traffic and make Delhi a world-class city, the Transport Department has approved a 130-km long dedicated corridor for high capacity buses (HCB). High capacity buses require dedicated corridors where no other vehicle can ply. "A total of 130 kilometres of dedicated corridor has been approved for the HCB," said Transport Commissioner Rajiv Talwar. In its pilot project, the corridor between Sainik Farms and Moolchand has been approved, which is likely to be further extended to the Inter-State Bus Terminal (ISBT) very soon. "We have so far ordered six buses from Tata. We plan to have more buses in the future," said Mr Talwar.
