April 29, 2016 16:10

A majority of the people in Delhi favour a permanent implementation of the Delhi government's odd-even traffic scheme aimed at battling pollution, a survey report said today.

The survey of more than 1,000 people from the Delhi-National Capital Region by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry sought to find out if the odd-even formula was a hit or a failure.

"Majority of respondents want the rule to be implemented on a permanent basis as this parameter has scored 6.2 out of 10," PHD said in a statement.

The survey highlighted that the car rationing scheme had got a satisfactory response from the respondents, scoring 5.4 out of 10 points. It said that fewer vehicles on the roads had reduced the travel time of commuters but not to the desired extent (score 5.7 out of 10).
