BUS (Delhi) — there are two styles of buses in Delhi – the government-run DTC buses, and the privately-owned Blue Line buses. The Blue Line buses are slowly being phased out, though, in favor of the DTC buses (which cover 773 routes). Buses in Delhi are cheap and well connected (fares starting at Rs. 5 – depending on the distance one is traveling). They are, however, probably the least comfortable way to travel. They tend to be quite crowded and don’t always have air-conditioning. It is not recommended that unaccompanied women or children use this form of transportation.
Bus routes can also be difficult to navigate. They are often written in Hindi, and many stops don’t have route lists. It is best to ask other passengers or the bus driver to confirm the bus route. In addition, with the more recently-built Metro now running, more passengers prefer that transportation option, when possible.
