NEW DELHI: The total number of buses available for transporting general passengers is less than one-tenth of the requirement, posing an enormous logistical challenge. According to government data, there are about 19 lakh buses in the country and only 2.8 lakh of them are run either by state transport undertakings or under stage carriage permits.

"We need about 30 lakh buses to meet the requirement of general passengers. The ones run by the state transport entities are also operating at sub-optimal levels. So there is a huge gap," Union transport secretary YS Malik said. Public transport experts said that the falling quality of service and non-availability of buses has also pushed people to own private vehicles both in urban and rural areas.

Union transport minister Nitin Gadkari said while China has about six buses for 1,000 people, India has only four buses per 10,000 people and about 90% Indians don't own any vehicle.
