Delhi Plans UMTA to Boost Transport and Connectivity
The Delhi government wants to create a team called UMTA to help people travel easily.
This team will coordinate buses, metros, and other transport so everything works together.
They will make plans for easy connections and are introducing a digital card for all transport types.
The goal is to make public transport better and reduce traffic.
Delhi plans to establish a Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (UMTA) to improve last-mile connectivity.
UMTA will coordinate transport modes like metro and buses for seamless integration.
The transport department proposed UMTA in April, awaiting cabinet approval.
A comprehensive study will be conducted to develop a rationalized transport plan.
Digital ticketing via the National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) is planned across all transport modes.
