Delhi's bus cluster update

The Delhi government will launch the first bus cluster on May 5. The cluster scheme has been delayed by several months because of lack of conductors as well as the absence of a parking bay for the privately-run cluster in the Millennium Depot. It got mired in trouble further when the partners got into a wrangle with each other. The service for the first cluster will be run by Star Bus (P) Ltd in 32 routes. More than 230 buses will be running on these routes. The transport department has already selected the concessionaires for the other clusters. The buses will have on board a passenger information system similar to that of Delhi Metro, providing commuters with various information like upcoming bus stops, expected time of arrival and traffic flow.
