Overview
- DTC put Route 740C into operation on Sunday to provide a direct bus corridor between Dichaon Kalan Depot in West Delhi and the Anand Vihar transport hub in East Delhi.
- The service follows a planned path through Baprola, Kheri Baba Pul, Vikaspuri Main Road, Uttam Nagar, Janakpuri, Lajwanti Garden, Dhaula Kuan, ITO and other central stops before terminating at the transit hub.
- Buses start at 6:00 a.m. and then run at roughly 45-minute intervals to give predictable, all-day service for commuters.
- Officials say the route is designed for office-goers, students, senior citizens and long-distance travellers and should spare thousands of passengers from multiple transfers and higher travel costs.
- The launch is presented as part of the Delhi government’s wider push to expand integrated, commuter-friendly public transport and could improve access to jobs, schools and long-distance connections if ridership and frequency meet demand.
