From June 1, all public transport vehicles in the national capital will need to have GPS installed to be able to renew their respective fitness certificates. Though the transport department had been putting off the decision for a while, it has now announced that GPS is now a mandate on all vehicles, including commercial and passenger, employed for the use of public. The order will also include taxis and Gramin Sewa 3-wheelers.
Interestingly, the AAP government had earlier said that autos would be exempted from this order.
However, with safety of commuters becoming a bone of contention, a deadline has been finally issued. The GPS devices will be sold by Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System (DIMTS) at economical prices. The data from the GPS devices will then be monitored by DIMTS.
