In September last year, the DTC introduced buses especially for women commuters , called Ladies Specials. These were supposed to offer a safe environment but in reality failed to provide an option as most women didn't know about them. It took the December incident for the government to start talking about the service. Today, there are 22 buses in the Ladies Special fleet, plying mostly along the Ring Road. Commuters, though, complain of poor frequency of the service. According to DTC officials, the 22 buses mostly ply in peak hours. Far-flung areas like Rohini, and Mehrauli are not covered.
The government also announced that home guards would be deployed in all 89 night service buses run by DTC. These buses run from 10.30pm till 4.30am. But there are complaints about the guards sleeping on the job or not doing their duty. The fact that few women travel on the night specials is a limiting factor. Commuters say deploying home guards on the evening shift — 2.30pm to 7pm — would be better.
The transport department's promise to install GPS on older auto rickshaws is hanging fire as well. To date, only 17,307 autos have GPS installed.
A drive to install GPS in other paratransit options like Gramin Sewa was promised as well. The GPS was originally a permit condition for Gramin Sewa, but was never implemented.
PSV badges for drivers of public transport vehicles is another pending promise.
