Gurugram, April 17, 2018: The Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, has said the Union Government is working to introduce a system under which drivers would not be required to stop anywhere while passing through a toll plaza. The toll fee would be deducted directly from their bank accounts.
Speaking at a programme in Gurugram on Monday, Gadkari said this system existed in South Korea. The President of South Korea is coming to India in May and a MoU would be signed with him for introducing the system. It would ease traffic movement at toll plazas.
He said the issue of plying double-decker buses on Delhi-Jaipur and Delhi-Chandigarh routes was under consideration. When introduced, these will also serve meals on board like the airways.
Work on Metrino pod taxi, a driverless system, between Dhaula Kuan, Delhi, and Manesar, would begin in a month and a half. Tenders have been received from three companies and these are being assessed, Gadkari added.
