December 10, 2015 17:00

Responding to criticisms that its odd-even formula will create a shortfall of public transportation, the Delhi government declared that an additional 6,000 buses will run between January 1 and 15. and that the number of auto rickshaws would be doubled as well.

In a radical step to curb air pollution, the city government had announced that private vehicles bearing odd and even registration numbers will be allowed to ply only on alternate days starting January 1.

The odd-even scheme for plying of private vehicles in the city will be in force from 8 am-8 pm from January 1 for an initial period of 15 days and there will be no restrictions on vehicular movement on Sundays, the Delhi government said on Tuesday.
