NEW DELHI: Taking a step towards making public transport accessible to all, the Delhi cabinet on Friday approved the installation of hydraulic lifts in 1,000 standard floor CNG buses in the city.
The Cabinet, in a meeting chaired by chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, approved a proposal of the department of transport for reimbursement of incremental cost for fitment of hydraulic lifts in 1,000 standard floor CNG-propelled buses to the concessionaires.
“Sufficient modes of public transport are the only way to reduce air pollution in Delhi and bring down the number of vehicles on the roads to reduce congestion,” the government said in a statement.
