The Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) on Friday allowed standing passengers in Metro trains and buses to augment the carrying capacity of the public transport systems to let more people use them instead of private vehicles in view of the prevailing air pollution.
In an order, the DDMA said 30 standing passengers will be allowed in each Metro train coach. In Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) and Cluster buses, the maximum number of passengers allowed to travel in standing position will be 50 per cent of the seating capacity.
Intra-State movement of buses (DTC as well as Cluster) permitted with 100% seating capacity of buses along with standing passengers upto 50% of seating capacity of a bus. In case of buses, boarding allowed only from rear door while de-boarding allowed only from front door: DDMA
