By The Delhi Metro will remain operational, but with not more than 50% of its total seating capacity. To curb the transmission of Covid-19, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) earlier fixed a headway of 15 minutes across the entire metro rail network in the national capital over the past weekend. The headways in two bifurcations — the Noida/Vaishali section of Blue Line and the Kirti Nagar/Inderlok section of Green Line — were also increased to 30 minutes as a measure. Meanwhile, the DMRC pledged to enforce stringent measures to ensure that there is no crowding in the metro rail coaches or at the platforms. Additionally, the gates were also being kept closed at several stations and alternate seating arrangement and spacing among commuters were being followed.
• Public buses, including those operating under the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC), the Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System (DIMTS), and the feeder bus services operated by the Delhi metro rail network, will be allowed with 50% of their seating capacity.
• Autos, e-rickshaws, taxis, cabs, ‘Gramin Sewa’ and ‘Phat-Phat Sewa’ can all carry up to a maximum of two passengers. Maxi cab and RTVs can carry up to five and 11 passengers, respectively. The passengers won’t be allowed to stand, as per the protocols prescribed by the Delhi government.
• The inter-state and intra-state movement will be allowed, and so will the transportation of essential goods. No separate permission or e-pass shall be required for such movements, the government order detailed. Passengers coming from and going to airports, railway stations, and inter-state bus terminals (ISBTs) shall be allowed to travel, provided they are able to produce valid tickets.
