A World Bank study has identified 75 bus routes including Delhi-Shimla, Delhi-Agra-Lucknow and Hyderabad-Bengaluru for passenger mobility enhancement, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways said today.
"The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has instituted a study under World Bank Technical Assistance (WBTA-27) for passenger mobility enhancement," the Ministry said in a statement.
The study has identified 75 routes which have low passenger share of buses and high overall passenger car unit (PCU) count, it said.
"There is greater share of private vehicles as compared to buses on these routes. The study assessed all India traffic survey data and toll data covering major corridors in the country to identify these routes," it said.
The routes identified also include Lucknow-Gorakhpur, Bangalore-Mangalore, Udaipur-Kota and Cuttack-Kolkata.
