Posted by : irmafia on Jun 26, 2012 - 06:00:25 AM

Buses will no longer pick up and drop passengers outside the Old Delhi Railway Station. In a new traffic plan devised for the congested Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Marg, the taxi lane will now be used for buses. The taxis will instead be parked in the parking lot, which can accommodate up to 300 vehicles.

"It has been decided that buses will pick up and drop passengers inside the station. The lane that was earlier used as a taxi lane will now accommodate buses. It has been noted that up to 15 such bus bays can be accommodated at one time, which is far above the normal number of buses at one time," said joint commissioner of police (traffic) Satyendra Garg. The trial will be conducted for 15 days, starting this Saturday.
