56 Special E-Buses For Women In Delhi: Check Routes, Services
The services, aimed largely at working women and college students travelling during peak hours, include 30 Ladies Special trips on 15 high-demand routes and 26 University Ladies Special, or U-Spl, trips on 13 routes.
Delhi's electric bus fleet reached 6,800 vehicles on Wednesday, after Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu and Chief Minister Rekha Gupta inaugurated 200 new e-buses at the Delhi University Sports Complex. The new additions bring the total number of electric buses to around 6,800. Additionally, 56 women-only e-bus services were launched, including routes connecting Delhi University colleges.
The aim is to make public transport cleaner, safer and more convenient, according to Sandhu. The 200 new e-buses include 88 12-metre and 112 nine-metre buses. The government plans to expand the fleet to 14,000 by 2028-29, with all Delhi Transport Corporation buses converted to electric vehicles. The new services also include a Delhi-Karnal interstate electric bus service and dedicated Ladies Special routes with women police personnel and Home Guard marshals on board.
The buses will operate during peak hours to connect major employment and educational hubs. The expansion follows previous additions of 500 EV buses in February, 300 in March, 200 in April, and 300 in July.
