@DilliBelle Already done. Pre-sales are super cheap. Been getting them all these years.

@jimanish @aadisht With regard to DTC, Govt. first needs to recognise that it isn’t meeting a min quality of service (given that it’s 2015).

@jimanish @aadisht Ya, I think the Competition Commission has to figure that and make it fair.

@jimanish @aadisht This is not new. We have Govt-Private services co-exist in many domains. Be it health, retail, banking, etc.

@jimanish Ya ya, responded to that. Private mass transit providers don’t need to compete on cost, IMO. @aadisht

@aadisht Ya, I responded to that. I think an uberBUS can totally work. @jimanish

@aadisht Super Bazaars or Ration Stores haven’t prevented private players. Private players just need to work out their USPs. @jimanish

@aadisht @jimanish What is a “competing public transport”? IMO Public transport != mass transport.

@bhavyakhanna We’re talking about what DTC / Delhi Govt can do within their own. @aadisht @jimanish

@bhavyakhanna Oho, don’t bring the land price factor. If the land price is high, the service doesn’t have to pile losses. @aadisht @jimanish

@aadisht I think the subsidy already appears on Govt’s balance sheet. Problem is DTC is unable to make-do with that. @jimanish

@aadisht For point 1, maybe, whichever way works. For point 2, why subsidise passengers over subsidising service? @jimanish

@bhavyakhanna Heh. The only reason I can think is that too many people have started referring to the ORR as RR in casual conversation.

@bhavyakhanna Since when did “Inner” Ring Road become a thing? I have heard it a few times now. It has always been just Ring Road.

@aadisht I know. Part of the problem is that the fares are low. There are may other issues with DTC that result in those losses. @jimanish
