Twitter to help Delhi's odd-even car system


With vehicle owners anxious about implementation of the odd-even car number plying system here from January 1, Friday, Twitter India has joined hands with the city government to give real-time information about available public transport in an area, through a @TransportDelhi and #pollutionfreeDelhi handle.

Women can get this information through direct messaging without disclosing their location and destination on the public platform. Gopal Rai, the city government’s transport minister, said on Monday he hoped these initiatives, and the ‘PoochhO’ app that can be downloaded on smartphones, would enable car owners to use public transport with minimum inconvenience between January 1 and 15, when the experiment is on.

Cars operating on compressed natural gas are exempt and Indraprastha Gas will be issuing hologrammed stickers from Tuesday morning for affixing on the estimated 500,000 such vehicles in the National Capital Region.Read More.
