[Resolved]  Delhi Transport Corporation — Non availability of buses on route no. 375

Route no. 375(Dilshad Garden-Nehru Place) connects Dilshad Garden to important commercial/governmet offices/colleges in the city the areas Laxmi Nagar, ITO, Supreme Court, Patiala House, Shajahan Road, Khan Market, Dayal Singh College, JLN Stadium, Kotla Mubarakpur/SouthExtn, Andrews Ganj, LSR College. Blue Line and DTC buses combined together are supposed to run at 8minutes freuqency in peak hours. The route is to be catered by 6 DTC buses(doing 24trips eitherside) and 19 Bluelines.
Before January, 2005
The situation was relatively satisfactory till 2005 January. The DTC buses has disappeared totally from this route from Jan, 2005 (the route till then operated by Hasanpur depot was transfered to Seemapuri depot in Jn, 2005).

Present Situation

The situation has been worsened by the Govt policy of removing old Bluelines. At present out of 19 bluelines only 10 Blue lines(DL 1PA-7707, DL- 1PA7819, DL 1PA 7943, DL1PB-114, DL1PB-116, DL1PB-761, DL1PB-825, DL1PB-1954 DL1PB-3728 and DL1PB-5265) are running in this route. Of this except for 3 Blue Lines(DL 1PA-7707, DL- 1PA7819 & DL 1PA 7943), all others are bunking one trip from either side there by reducing the availability of buses in this route. The DTC which should be running 24 trips in either direction is just running one trip in the morning towards NehruPlace(which is also not regular).

In the morning peak hours(7.30-10.00) the situation is pathetic. The timing of Blue Line buses between 7.30 to 10.00 from Dilshad Garden are at 7.50, 8.06, 8.22, 8.30, 8.46 and 9.18. But few operators are so erratic that you can't depend on them. Eg the 8.22 bus(DL1PB-761) goes early at 8.15, 8.46(DL1PB-5265) at their convenience from 8.35 to8.50) and the 9.18 bus(DL1PB-1954) which is the last bus in the peak hour goes at 8.55. On few days a DTC bus(irregular service) runs at 9.10.If it is not available no buses are available for more than an hour. The situation is far more grim in the evening peak time(17.30-20.00). Only 5 trips of Bluelines available from Nehru Place side between 17.30 1nd 20.00hrs). DTC does not even run one trip for name sake. Between 20.00hrs and 22.20(suppose to be time of last bus from Nehru place) there are only 2 trips.

Solution to the problem
The Blue Lines should be instructed to strictly follow their time-table and complete all the trips.
The Delhi Transport Corporation should be instructed to run all the trips allotted to it at least in the morning and evening peak hours.Additionally DTC should be given permit to run buses in route no.375, in place of 9 Blue Lines which are removed due to government actions. There are three DTC depots(Dilshad Garden, Seemapuri & Nand Nagari) within 3km from Dilshad Garden terminal and another three DTC depots(Srinivas puri, Sukhdev Vihar and Kalkaji) with in 3Km from Nehru Place Terml. DTC may utilise buses in these depots to run services on route no.375 with a minumum decent frequency to alleviate the hardship faced by thousands of residents (including students, govt/private employees, senior citizens) of Dilshad Garden and adjoining areas depending on route no. 375 .

Personal — Non-availability of DTC No.404

Sir,

On 8th and 9th March 2010 404 did not report to D Block Bus Termninus. It has been taken for granted that no amount of complaint can solve the problems of Sarita Vihar residents though as high a personality as Mr Pervez Hashmir, former Delhi Transport Minister intervened and it was restored, not fully but partially, now again withdrawn.

Please let the Regional Manager, Kalka Depo should see our complaints.

I am a senior citizen by the name of R.K. Saxena
