Thank you Joseph taking up SUCH AN IMPORTANT ISSUE for DWARKITES.

I too made some emails/letters but never got any positive response other than one in which Sect/22/23 RL Route which by all pressure from other RWA/Forums support they started a year back.

My suggestion/submission are :

1. Sector 22/23 is not accesable by any public transport other than one/two morning & evening shuttle. There is urgent need for increase the frequency of this service.

2. There must be service to Gurgaon

3. IMPORTANT: There must be some CIRCULAR SERVICE to help residents to reach METRO in all Sectors. The lowfloor AC bus would be ideal for Dwarka. Even though it may not be profitable for DTC(normally a resident in Sect 22 pay over Rs.10 just to reach Sect 9 Metro by Rikshaw). However for public transport with time it will come up for profit and it will help the country in reducing spending in OIL by reducing private transport.

4. Connecting service with Metro Station with Domestic/International Airport.

6. The RTV are a Mess and not suitable for Dwarka as it name suggest(RURAL TRANSPORT VEHICLE).

7. There must be connecting service towards South Delhi (Nehruplace/Vasant Kunj/Bikaji/Dhaula Kuan) and West & South West.

8. The Depots in Palam/Manglapuri must be moved to Dwarka, where I beleive DDA/Govt NCT Delhi already alloted plot and no action from DTC So far.

 

If any other point, I will revert to you

Thanks once again.

I prefer the following two Route for the following locations

 

(1)  Dwarka to Nehru Place / Okhla / Noida

 

As we have only one bus route for Nehru Place ie. 764 which over crowded all the times.

 

(2)  Dwarka to AIIMS / Lajpat Nagar / Noida

 

In thi  route also we have only one bus route for Palam to Nehru Stadium i.e. 727.

 

Mr. Joseph please convince the CMD of DTC  for making frequent services particularly during office hours.

Please suggest CMD to put it as a Limited Stop Services like Chartered Buses during office hours.

 

this is my opion only, member can suggest the best routes / location also.

 

thanks

Note:    Let's also think about the internal transport for all the Sectors of Dwarka, please comments.

I support the suggestions made by Mr. Rejimon.

 

It is the best suggestion that there should be a CIRCULAR SERVICE  to help residents to reach all the METRO stations in all Sectors.

thanks

Anil Nayal

[p. menon]

There can be different alternatives:

 

(1) There are already a number of buses running through the main road (Kakrola to Dwarka gate at sect-1).  Therefore, new routes should preferably concentrate on other roads.

 

(2) New routes should touch  or originate from newly developed areas like:

- Metro stations

- Ashirwad Chowk the upcoming new market at crossing of sector 4, 5, 11 & 12.

 

(3) New routes are required to the places where direct Metro service from Dwarka is not available like:

ISBT, Trans Yamuna (Shahdara, Dilshad, Ghaziabad), South Delhi(Lajpat Nagar, AIIMS, Hauz Khas, etc.)

I Agree with Mr. Anil Nayal...These routes to south delhi are also not covered by Metro, so it makes more sense to run buses on these routes.

 

Also we should have smaller buses for commute within Dwarka Sub City (Bigger and regular buses will make the city more dangerous to drive)

 

Thanks,

Dear Joseph,

Thanks for your initiative in this much needed area.

 

There is a requirement of Mini Mudrika type feeder service linking all the Sectors or closer to them for connectivity to Shopping complexes etc. Say starting from Sector 1 going towards Sect 4/5 then on to Sect 14 /coming towards 13,12,11,19,18 ,22,23,9,10,6/7 etc.

 

Once a person gets down from Metro he/she should also be able to utilise DTC Buses within Dwarka.There may be a service to Link South Delhi and on to Hazrat Nizammudin Station via Lajpat Nagar Market.

 

Regards

 

Lt Col Mehta

 

[Vikram Das]

Dear Sir,

 

I concurr with the views about introducing Dwarka centric bus routes from areas not being covered by DMRC. Simultaneously the need of the hour is to have intra-subcity transporatation facility, ideally non-polluting like the ones plying within  AIIMS.

 

With regards,

[Mahesh Gupta]

I agree with Mr. P. Menon and it is a fact that their is no bus plying from Ashirwad chowk (.i.e crossing of 4,5,11,12 sectors).

 

It should be seriously thought and I think everybody should think on it. The routes can be decided but atleast their should be a bus from this upcoming market chowk to reach outside i.e. may be Janakpuri or to south delhi.

 

Hope this will help many residents as thier is not even a single bus plying from this chowk.

 

Thanx

[Pradeep K. Ivon]

thanks joseph for your efforts, pls take our requests (if necessary we will sign a common application) for various routes desired mostly by the residents. I am sure many would benefit from a route covering Dwarka to RK Puram, Bhikaji Cama etc. to cover many office goers both private and Govt. as there is large no. of offices in this zone.

Another service up to Nehru Place / Lajpat Nagar via AIIMS etc. would be also useful.

thanks, these are my opinions pls proceed on the basis of majority of requests.

[anil nayal]

Let's suggest two routes which CMD of DTC has asked to Mr. Joseph to give /suggest the routes.

 

Routes

 

(1) Start from Sector-15/16/14 then connecting all the sectors (as per conveniences of all the sectors) and finally comes to Dwarka Flyover then to the specific locations

 

(2) We should request to start the Route of 764 from Dwarka (from inner sectors) to Nehru Place also. It will give a great relief to the residents of Dwarka.

 

We should also request the CMD of DTC to start proposed DTC Depot at Dwarka.

 

We may discuss internal transport later. For this we may also approach DMRC for linking of all the sectors of Dwarka with Metro Stations through Mini Buses and it will also help the residents to reach to nearby.

 

Any best suggestions/ comments are most welcome.

 

Thanks

Yes. I also agree the suggestions for Route No. 764. Apart from increasing the frequency of 764 during office hours, DTC can also ply the high-capacity bus in this route. I often see Route No.620 bus going empty! And I have never seen this high-capacity busy in any other route. Yes. The fare could also be Rs.15 instead of Rs.10/- Inter-connectivity with different sectors is a welcome idea. A suggestion like to start a bus from Sector 14 and then reach Sector 12, Sector 19 & 18, Sector 22&23, Sector 11, Sector 10 & 6, Sector 7 near Munirka Apts and finally Sector 1!!! Any comments or better route than this would be most welcome.

Good job Joseph. Please pursue it for the benefit of Dwarkaites.   You can suggest for point no 6 in the Memorandum: http://www.dwarkaparichay.com/Dwarka%20Parichay_memorandum.doc   6)      Requirement of sheds at bus-stops and public transport within Dwarka – Though the residents of Dwarka and Palam got respite due to the newly constructed palam flyover, several times the commuters have fainted at the bus stops waiting for the bus in the scorching summer heat and sun. The sheds are either in dilapidated condition or missing. This needs addressal and corrective action on priority basis Also the commuting transport services for intra-Dwarka are missing or very few resulting in over-crowded RTVs which are dangerous especially to the children, senior citizens and ladies. Although metro has provided some reprieve but the unscrupulous rikshawallas fleece the naïve commuters even for taking them a few kms from the metro station to their destinations.       Dwarka - CP route is ok due to the arrival of metro. But Nazafgarh - Dwarka - Nehru Place route require proper planning/ strategy. Even though the frequency of route no 764 is 5-10 min in office hour, it is very difficult to get into the bus. Sometimes wait for 3-4 overcrowded buses to pass to just get in. DTC official should see these buses in office hours to get concrete solutions. They can easily observe the pathetic condition of commuters.   Suggestions: -cut short the route to Dwarka- NP or Dwarka-IIT or Dwarka- BCP    for some buses. -more buses in office hours -Some chartered/ RTV buses charge Rs25/- for Dwaka-NP route.   so DTC can run A/C buses @Rs 15/-- and can earn big profits.      Thanks,   Dwarka Parichay Team

[Prabhat Sharma]

 Thanks joel for your sincere efforts . I am really delighted that DTC has decided to start a new bus servic shortly . I would like to suggest that sector 22 should be included in the bus route being isolated sector and also no bus service has been operating so far .

I am in USA now .Thanks again.

Hi

During one of my trips to Emeryville, California (http://www.emerygoround.com ), I noticed a bus service exclusively for their BART (Bay Area Rapid transport) (MRTS system)

It allows easy connection to this subcity (much much smaller than Dwarka).

See the link attached to this email. Are you talking about a similar service. I have used  this service and found it very very useful.

Funding of this kind of service could be a issue.

Rohit

[R Vijay Raghavan]

Dear All

We are talking of a Unified service from Dwarka. For residents of Sector 22 and 23, and those who are going to New Custom House(NCH) or Airport for thier work there is great problem as the Road from the Railway Gate at Shahbad Mohmadpur will be closed shortly due to airport expansion work.

 

In view of the above there must be DTC connectiosn which will connect these places through the Under Pass.

 

Would be highly obliged if we can do something in this regard. I am ready to contribute in this endoveour as many of my firends are affected.

 

With Best Regards

Dear Rohit,

 

Good option. It is  is a private transportation service, funded solely by

commercial property owners.

In Dwarka there are thousands of property dealers,

they can easily contribute and support this System.

 

Pl check for the feasibility.

 

We can have battery operated RTVs in circular routes.

can have monthly/ yearly subscription passes...

 

any property dealer?

 

more options?

Sir,

 

Is there any news after your meeting which was scheduled for 23rd April, 2007 with CMD of DTC.

Thanks again for your initiatives.

 

As there are so many options discussed for better DTC service in Dwarka.

-Some chartered/ RTV buses charge Rs25/- for Dwaka-NP route.

  so DTC can run A/C buses @Rs 15/-- and can earn big profits.

Hi All,

 

One major failure from the DTC is that they have not considered any transport route connecting the Delhi University, especially South Campus. There are plenty of students, especially girl students traveling to various colleges. So there shall be a route connecting from Dwarka sectors to entry to South Campus colleges from Rao Tularam Marg and then entry to Maitrei and Jesus Mary College etc. One can see the agony of students every day running around to catch the only RL77 bus, which is also regulary irregular.

 

Thanks
