NEW DELHI: A special drive conducted by Delhi Transport Corporation claims to have found that not a single DTC bus in the capital violates the speed limit. It has also found that only one bus was overtaking illegally, whereas rude behaviour, use of cellphones and smoking by the crew was zero in DTC buses.
The special drive was started on July 20 and will go on till the end of the month. DTC officers and traffic supervisory staff conducted these surprise checks during morning and evening peak hours, said a DTC official. "These officers were deputed across the city at approximately 176 points," said the spokesperson.

These findings may come as a shock to many commuters of Delhi's public transport system. There have been rampant complaints of buses not stopping at the designated spot or trying to overtake buses from the bus cluster service.
The drive results, however, are surprising to say the least. The maximum violations found were to be of not wearing the proper uniform while improper parking also was noted. And only one bus conductor was found to be cheating.
