Delhi Transport Corporation is planning to introduce a new luxury bus fleet that will connect the airport to about 30 points in the city from where Delhiites can board the bus to reach IGI. Sources said the buses will have TV screens, music, baggage space and flight checkin facilities. All passengers will be served beverages on the way, and the staff will be well-trained and courteous. A preliminary list of about 27 pick-up points has been prepared from where the service will operate. At each of these points, world-class waiting rooms will be constructed and a tie-up with radio cabs is being suggested for further connectivity from these points to the final destination. An online booking facility is also being looked into. The proposal is to let UMTC arrange for the buses, their operation, maintenance and staff while DTC provides depots, terminals and permits, but the finer details are yet to be worked out.
