Delhi Odd Even Rule

About it

This rule would define which car you can drive on a particular date. On even dates, only cars with

license plates ending with an even number will be allowed on city roads, and on odd dates, cars with

license plates ending with an odd number will be allowed.

For example, on dates ending with 0,2,4,6 and 8, you can only drive a vehicle whose vehicle

registration number ends with an even digit such as DL83AB0XX4. And on odd dates, you can drive

vehicles whose registration number ends with odd digit. For example, DL83AB0XX3.

The first pilot of this rule would begin on the New Year i.e. 1st January 2016 and would last for 15

days. The rule would be effective between Monday-Saturday between 8 AM to 8 PM.

You will have to pay a fine of Rs 2,000 if you will not comply to the odd-even rule.

Delhi government would run more buses on the street for ensuring a seamless, hassle -free experience

for every day commuters. It will run 3,000 extra buses on capital's roads.

This rule would only apply to common man as government bureaucrats have been exempted from this

rule. Yes, there are exemptions for public as well. For example, CNG vehicles, two -wheelers as and

women car drivers have been exempted.

Below is the complete list:

· All CNG-driven vehicles · Electric vehicles · Hybrid vehicles · Two-wheelers · Vehicles driven by women, with only women passengers · Vehicles driven by women, with children below the age of 12 · Those on way to hospital for medical emergency (should carry proof) · Vehicles of physically challenged · Emergency vehicles - Ambulance, fire, hospital, prison, hearse, enforcement vehicles, etc · President · Vice President

· Prime Minister · Chief Justice of India · Speaker of the Lok Sabha · Deputy chairman of the Rajya Sabha · Deputy speaker of the Lok Sabha · Governors of the states · Lt Governors Tech and non-tech companies are figuring out ways to sort Delhities travel issues between Jan 1-15. For instance, Twitter will help Delhities search information about nearest bus and metro stations simply by using the hashtag #pollutionfreeDelhi and entering the origin and destination. Ola, Uber have started offering car pooling services, which should come in handy for Delhities during odd-even days. In fact, Ola' s 'CarPool' feature will allow residents in Delhi-NCR to pool rides using their private cars through Ola's app. Even Delhi Metro has decided to ramp up its services during the 15-day trial period of the rule and would run 198 trains to make an additional 365 trips every day.

You can even consider www.odd-even.com for car pooling — a website that has been developed by a 13-year old student of Amity International school. Currently, this pilot would be limited to Delhi only but if it turns out to be a success then other cities might also follow the suit. We expect this rule to be implemented in NCR regions such as Gurgaon and Noida that has maximum office-goers.

Overall sentiment

The proposal came out in the early days of December and was a hit. Most of the early days were filled

with tweets that are very negative or jokes. Slowly when people started to understand and accept the

fact and the sentiments started to swing the other way.

Please started to tweet supportive positive comments.

Again, a major event was the publication of the list of exempted vehicles, which created a lot of fuzz.

But was the days of test run arrived, people had accepted the fact and understood the policy.

But a lot of fuzz was created as many were also seen not following the rules. Cabs and autos were

taking advantage of the situation. Ola and Uber are trying to help but results are not sure.
