Letter to Transport Minister July 2013.pdf
July 3, 2013
Respected Sir,
Greetings from Dwarka Residents.
This is with reference to our discussion
with you during Bhagidari Workshop in Tyagraj Stadium on 30th of
June, 2013. We would like to submit that Dwarka Sub city with over 6 Lakh
residents has been completely ignored by DTC.
We had and have been raising
these issues time and again and had series of meeting with DTC official starting
from Depot to CMD, but unfortunately no
concrete measure has been taken by them. We are thankful that you have asked us
see you in your office and hence we request you to give us a convenient time
for appointment to discuss public transportation issue in Dwarka. Our concern
is as follows:-
1.
A
self-sufficient Sub-City planned has NO Connecting Public Transport System
through DTC services barring few buses ply on a single road no 201
connecting to Nazafgarh.
2.
DTC
uses 3 Bus Depot in Sector 2, Sector 8 and Sector 10 with over 300 buses?
However, not even 10% of the buses are put for the benefits of Dwarka Residents.
We demand that the buses from Dwarka bus Depots should cater to the residents
of Dwarka by connecting to various locations rather than passing by.
3.
There
is complete mess up at Madhu Vihar terminal as these buses are Illegally parked on the
main road no. 201, instead of parking it on
a bus depot hardly 200 meter away.
4.
No
direct bus services to connect Trans Yamuna area.
5.
Resumption
of circular services as per logical route and proper timing.
6.
Buses
connecting from Dwarka More and Dwarka to Domestic Airport. This is very
important. We fail to understand why the various sectors of Dwarka are not
inter connected and to the T3 and Domestic Airport.
7.
Arrange
new bus routes for Office goers for various routes such as Gurgaon, Nehru
Place, CGO Complex, Central Secretariat, Janak Puri etc.
8.
We
demand that bus stops with proper shelter be built. As the buses are fitted
with GPRS systems, the bus stops should have electronic boards to announce
which bus is approaching. A proper
timetable of the buses should be put up on each bus stop for commuters to know
which all buses are plying. This is completely doable as even
smaller cities have these facilities.
Delhi being a Capital with so much of invested in infrastructure lacks
these basic requirements. It’s a shame.
We will be obliged if
an early appointment is given preferably on a Saturday.
Kind regards,
Sushil Kumar
