A new public transport policy for the entire NCR region, including Delhi and UP, will soon come into operation. The policy has almost been hammered out by the officials of Delhi and UP transport departments. Now UP roadways buses will be able to ply from Bulandshahr, Meerut and Ghaziabad for different terminals in Delhi without any hindrance. The only rider is that the buses should run on CNG. Under the new proposal, the UP roadways buses will ply up to 1.40 lakh km in Delhi as against 90,000 km in the past. DTC will also be at liberty to ply its buses for the same length of kilometres in UP. A new formula is being readied for the length of kms and a number of trips by buses from both the states. Vehicles with NCR permits will have a different colour scheme and logo for easy identity. Even rates of vehicles registration fee for all NCR states will be common. According to UP roadway officials, the new transport policy will be placed before the committee set-up under the aegis of apex court with Bhure Lal as its chairman. At present, UP roadway buses are plying on CNG from four points. Agreement has been reached for plying these buses from eight new points in New Delhi, including IGI Airport, Nehru Place, Mehrauli, Central Secretariat, CGO Complex, Shivaji Stadium, Shahdara and Bhajanpura bus terminals. UP roadways diesel buses will be allowed to ply up to Outer Delhi bus stops. They will not be allowed to enter Delhi in keeping with pollution norms extant in the national Capital. According to UP officials, new colour code and logo had figured in discussions for easily identification of buses. The same will apply to three wheelers. The question of entry tax in Delhi and passenger tax in UP had also come up for discussion. Increase in tax from NCR public vehicles was also considered which is expected to be sorted out in the next about 10 days, it is learnt.
