‘Flying Bus’ In Delhi From Dhaula Kuan To Manesar?

As mentioned earlier, during his address at the Global Business Summit 2024, Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari spoke about his plan for a unique bus service that will ditch traffic woes and help commuters escape long traffic jams. This ‘flying bus’ is actually a ‘cable bus’, which means this bus will ‘fly in the air’ and will take you from Dhaula Kuan to Manesar in Delhi and will have a seating capacity of 40 people.

Quoting Nitin Gadkari as mentioned in a Times Now Report, the Transport Minister said, “And now my dream is to start a 40-seater cable bus from Dhaula Kuan to Manesar. From Delhi to Mumbai, I am planning to start an electric bus and I am planning to start a bus from Delhi to Jaipur which will have AC, business class, and it will cover the distance in just two hours. The fare will be 30 percent less compared to the fare of a diesel bus and there will be zero pollution.”

In another news update, World Book Fair 2024 is being organised at the Pragati Maidan in New Delhi for nine days, starting Feb 10. Keeping in mind the traffic problems that may arise because of the crowd coming for the Book Fair, the Delhi Police has issued a traffic advisory for everyone. According to the advisory, heavy traffic is expected at Mathura Road, Ring Road, Bhairon Road, Purana Quila Road and the Shershah Road; these roads must be avoided, to avoid traffic jams.
