Public transport in Delhi is provided by auto rickshaws,

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

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
