In a bid to enhance regional connectivity and promote eco-friendly transport, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday announced that DTC bus services between the national capital and NCR cities will soon resume. She also flagged off a new inter-state electric bus route operated by the Delhi Transport Corporation, linking Kashmere Gate Bus Terminal with Sonipat Bus Stand. The modern electric buses feature air-conditioning, CCTV cameras, panic buttons, and GPS tracking systems.

Gupta further said that the state government will soon resume DTC bus services connecting Delhi with the National Capital Region. Earlier, on the occasion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday celebrations during the Seva Pakhwada, the chief minister inaugurated the first inter-state electric bus service between Delhi and Baraut.

"The new DTC electric buses are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including air-conditioning, CCTV cameras, panic buttons, and GPS systems. These buses will ensure safer and more comfortable travel for passengers and will operate regularly on the Delhi-Sonipat route, ensuring smooth connectivity between the two cities," she said. She added that the initiative will also help combat the rising pollution levels in the state.
