Delhi to have app based bus service soon
India: Citizen of Delhi will soon
have a bus service application on their mobile which will allow the user to
locate the bus, bus route, and seat availability in the bus.
The app based bus service is an integral
part of a larger plan in which Delhi Government is planning to streamline the
public transport including buses, autos, metros and private buses.
Delhi consists of about 4,800 DTC buses
along with 84,000 autos. The government is planning to include contract
carriage buses by providing them a special permit.
TechSci Research depicts that the
government across the world are focusing on deploying intelligent transport
systems for the convenience of citizens as well as to resolve the challenges of
traffic congestion and pollution.
According to the recently published
report by market research and consulting company TechSci Research, “Global Intelligent Transportation
Systems Market
By System (ATMS, ATPS, ATIS, etc.), By Application (Traffic Management,
Electronic Toll Management, Parking Management, etc.) and Competition Forecast
and Opportunities, 2010-2020”, the global ITS market is poised to grow at CAGR
of over 10% during 2015 - 2020. In 2014, Americas accounted for the largest
share in the global ITS market, followed by Europe, Asia-Pacific and Middle
East & Africa. However, Asia-Pacific offers huge future growth
opportunities for ITS deployments, and consequently, is expected to outperform
the broader market. Rising concerns associated with vehicular emissions are
also influencing ITS strategic plan of various major economies, and this is
expected to have a positive impact on global ITS market during the forecast
period.
