“The cabinet has given its nod for purchase of 1,000 semi-low floor buses to DTC to enable it to strengthen its city fleet. This is in addition to the earlier permission granted for purchase of 2,500 low-floor air-conditioned and non air-conditioned buses,” Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit told reporters after the cabinet meeting.
“Low-floor and semi-low floor buses have same features except floor height from the ground,” she said.
