Transport in Delhi - Roadways

Transport in Delhi - Roadways

Public transport in Delhi is provided by auto rickshaws,

buses, rapid transit system, taxis and suburban

railways. Buses are the most popular means of

transportation catering to about 60% of the total

demand. Major bus service providers include state-owned

Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC), BlueLine Transport

Corporation and several other private concerns. Private

vehicles account for 30% of the total demand for

transportation while the rest of the demand is met

largely by auto-rickshaws, taxis, rapid transit system

and railways. Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI)

serves Delhi for both domestic and international

connections, and is situated in the southwestern corner

of the city. In 2005-2006, IGI recorded a traffic of

more than 16.2 million passengers(Both Domestic and

International), making it one of the busiest airports in

South Asia. Two other airports are Palam (now part of

the IGI complex) and Safdarjung Flying Club.

Transportation in Delhi is largely dependent upon road.

Railways, including rapid transit systems like Delhi

Metro, serve only 1% of the total demand. Major railway

stations are Old Delhi, Hazrat Nizamuddin and New Delhi

Railway Station. Road transportation in Delhi is

maintained by MCD, NDMC, Delhi Cantonment Board, Public

Works Department and Delhi Development Authority. At

1749 km of road length per 100 km², Delhi has one of the

highest road densities in India. Major roadways include

the Ring Road and the Outer Ring Road which had a

traffic of 110,000 vehicles per day in 2001. Delhi is

well connected to other parts of India by 5 National

Highways: NH-1, -2, -8, -10 and -25. In 2001, more than

3.45 million vehicles were plying on Delhi's roads and

the demand for transportation rose by 6.7% while the

number of motor vehicles in Delhi rose by 14.7%.

As Delhi's population continues to grow exponentially,

the city's has the highest ratio of vehicles per capita
