The bus service will begin from September 15 with 10-15 buses. Based on the response more buses and routes will be added after the commonwealth games. Buses run on predefined routes at regular intervals.
Tourists can choose a route and board any bus. They will have the option of getting off at a place of their interest on the way and have the choice of taking any of the later buses on the same route.

To make them look attractive, the buses will be painted in bright colours and the exteriors will reflect the character of the tours on offer. Every bus will also have a trained and dedicated guide on board along with specialized audio guides and literature to keep the visitors updated.
Routes : Three routes decided, a fleet of 15 buses will ply. More buses will be added based on the response. The service will continue after the games too. The Buses will be run by a private operator for Delhi tourism.
