Delhi Government Launches New DTC Bus Route 753 Ext From Mori Gate ISBT
On Sunday, the Delhi government launched a new experimental Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) bus route, Route 753 Ext, connecting Mori Gate ISBT in central Delhi to Kheri Baba Pul in west Delhi. Transport Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh announced the initiative, which aims to provide a direct, affordable, and improved public transport connection between central Delhi and densely populated residential areas in west Delhi to make commuting easier for local residents.
The newly introduced route has been established on an experimental basis to improve public transport connectivity. It is designed to cater directly to residents of Janakpuri, Vikas Puri, Uttam Nagar, Hastsal, Shiv Vihar, Hari Nagar, and adjoining localities.
According to the Transport Department, the route starts from Mori Gate Terminal. It passes through Kashmere Gate, Red Fort, Delhi Gate, Ajmeri Gate, Paharganj, Rajendra Place, Shadipur, Naraina, Maya Puri, Janakpuri, Uttam Nagar, Vikas Puri, Hastsal, and Shiv Vihar, before ending at Kheri Baba Pul.
Transport Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh said the route is part of the government’s effort to strengthen Delhi’s public transport network and make commuting easier across the city. He stated that the route will significantly improve accessibility for residents of west Delhi by providing them with a direct and affordable public transport connection to Central Delhi and Mori Gate.
Officials said the route has been designed to cater to office-goers, students, and daily commuters by connecting several residential areas with commercial hubs, Metro stations, and major transport interchanges. Besides passing through key arterial roads, it links passengers to Kashmere Gate and Mori Gate ISBT, which is one of the capital's busiest interstate bus terminals.
The Transport Department also noted that the service is expected to particularly benefit travellers heading to eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, as it offers direct access to interstate buses operating from Kashmere Gate. Additionally, the route improves connectivity to the nearby Old Delhi and New Delhi railway stations, reducing the need for multiple changes in transport for long-distance passengers.
