The Delhi High Court on Monday sought suggestions from the Delhi Government on diverting chartered buses as well as some Delhi Transport Corporation buses passing the BRT corridor with a view to seeing whether retaining the corridor and simultaneously decongesting the carriageway along it was possible. A Division Bench of the Court comprising Justice Pradeep Nandrajog and Justice Manmohan Singh sought the suggestions while hearing petitions seeking opening up the corridor for traffic other than buses on the dedicated stretch to unburden the overburdened carriageway along it and opposing it by the Delhi Government. The Government has argued that if any other vehicles are allowed in the corridor, no bus will be able to reach designated platforms for proper embarkation and disembarkation of passengers. At present, the Court has allowed plying of other traffic along with buses in the corridor as an interim arrangement till pronouncement of final orders on the pending pleas. The Court has allowed multi-modal traffic on the stretch after submission of a report by the Central Road Research Institute recommending mixed traffic on it after conducting an experiment of allowing vehicles other than buses to ply on this corridor on a direction by the Court on a public interest litigation seeking a direction to end the exclusivity of buses on it. The Institute has said that allowing other vehicles to ply in the dedicated corridor during the experiment “yielded better benefits for the road users compared to the BRT situation.” The city government is opposing the plea for opening up the corridor to other traffic on the ground of protection of common good, sating that cars cannot be permitted to disturb the bus transport at the cost of the common man. The Bench asked the Government to submit a report on the suggestions on Tuesday when it would hear further arguments on the petitions.
