Delhi govt decides to discontinue 'MP Special' bus service

April 26, 2016 21:38

The Delhi government today decided to discontinue 'MP Special' bus service after receiving "poor response" from Parliamentarians over the last two consecutive days.

On Tuesday, the AAP government withdrew four out of six air-conditioned buses when only three-four MPs had availed the service. Today as well, a few Parliamentarians travelled in these buses to reach the House.

"The government has decided to discontinue 'MP Special' bus service as we were not getting a good response from them.

"If demand arises to introduce the service again, we will then come up with such buses to facilitate Parliamentarians." Delhi Transport Minister Gopal Rai said.

The Delhi government had launched 'MP Special' bus service on Monday to ferry them to Parliament in view of implementation of the odd-even scheme and run six-airconditioned buses for lawmakers.
