Dwarka: Blue bus from sector 14-21 shows promise in trial run

Dwarka: While passing through sector 14 or sector 21 metro station, you must have come across a blue minibus carrying commuters from the metro station to various locations. The bus, brand new in look, is not private but a public transport bus started by Delhi government to provide last mile connectivity to the residents of Dwarka. The bus which has been running in the sub-city on a trial basis is showing promising results.
