Phase II of Delhi's Odd-Even rule to begin from April 15 and end on April 30. No school buses to be used this time. Instead the AAP-run Delhi government will run the 'Paryavaran Bus Seva'. The government has envisioned a 50 per cent of seats will be reserved for women and there will be marshals in each bus.

The odd-even scheme hopes to reduce the capital's notorious air pollution and traffic snarls. Women driving alone or with young children, several categories of VIPs and two-wheelers will be exempted.

The policy was introduced by the Aam Aadmi Party government for a trial phase of 15 days from January 1 as a measure to take a swipe at rising air pollution levels and smog in the national capital.

According to the rule, cars with even-numbered registration plates will ply on even dates while those with odd license plates will ply on odd dates. Two-wheelers, cars driven by women, cars with differently-abled persons and those of VIP, VVIP such as PM, President, Chief Justice, CJI and CMs of states and union territories were exempted by the rule.
