Expressing its willingness to work with the government in providing
world class transport solution, private cab operator Ola on Monday
welcomed the efforts of the Delhi government to launching the app-based
Premium Bus Services.
"Ola welcomes the efforts of the Delhi
government for app-based Premium Bus Services. We are confident that
this will go a long way in solving for key issues like congestion,
pollution and parking that we are faced with today," said a statement
from the app-based cab service provider.
It said it looked
forward to working with the government in extending a world class daily
commute solution from Ola Shuttle to citizens across the state.
The
Delhi government on May 20, notified the scheme of launching the
app-based premium bus services, in a bid to encourage private car owners
to switch to public transport and complement the odd-even traffic
scheme.
The service will be launched in mid-June. The premium
buses will be fully air-conditioned with no passengers allowed to stand.
However, the ticket rates would be higher than those in existing bus
services in the city.
