Parking space was one of the major hurdles in the way of Delhi government acquiring new buses to strengthen the public transport buses fleet. “Rather than going to the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), the Delhi government has identified its own land. Another 14.39 acre plot at Rani Khera will be given to the Delhi Transport Corporation by the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC). Currently, Delhi has 5426 buses under the DTC and cluster service which are parked in 262 acres of depots located across the city. While depots for the cluster buses are full, DTC officials said that their existing depots are underutilized as old buses get phased out from time to time.
