•  In a span of a few years, the Delhi metro, which began its first service in December 2002, faces the challenge of being overly crowded during peak business hours.

 • The strategies adopted by the government of Israel and Tokyo are very efficient in tackling overcrowdedness. 

•  One of the biggest problems that get the least attention is the lack of focus on last-mile connectivity in Delhi public transportation as well as the unutilized parking spaces. 

• The new budget proposal tabled by the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi makes promises of upscaling the bus transport system and augmenting its electric bus fleet. This will not only be the efficient way to tackle overcrowdedness but also a sustainable step towards saving environment. 

• The ‘mohalla bus’ scheme will ensure the last mile connectivity and the development of three ISBTs (Inter-State Bus Terminus) with airport-like facilities in Delhi will help in addressing Delhi’s transportation woes.
