Launched on 1 April 2022, Bus Lanes are dedicated lanes for priority to Public Transport, to be used only by buses and goods carriers from 8 AM to 10 PM[1]
"People have now developed a habit of driving in their lanes and they are following the rule on their own. We are not far from the time when the transport system of Delhi would be better than any city of a developed country," Kejriwal said after successful implementation on Oct 12 2022[2]
AAP government has decided to create dedicated bus lanes on 560 km of roads which it plans to redevelop[2:1]
Fines upto Rs 10,000 and 6 months of imprisonment for errant drivers[1:1]
The Delhi Govt deployed motorcycles for enforcing bus lane driving as they will be able to pass on narrow lanes[2:2]
