However, again in 2022, the number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newindianexpress.com\/cities\/delhi\/2025\/Sep\/26\/vehicles-per-1k-people-accidents-dip-in-delhi-report#:~:text=The%20report%20reveals%20that%20vehicle,2015%20to%204%2C720%20in%202021\">accidents<\/a> went back up again, reaching 5560.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As per the data from the National Crime Records Bureau, there has been a drop in fatalities and injuries\u20149,880 people were impacted by road accidents in 2015, but that number dropped to 5,228 in 2021. 2022 was again an exception to the rule, since the number climbed back to 6,174<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Growth, Setbacks, and the Road Ahead for Delhi\u2019s Public Transport<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, when we speak about the public transport, things look more mixed. The number of buses in the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) and cluster fleet increased from 5,842 in 2015\u201316 to 7,485 in 2023\u201324. Despite this increase, the average daily ridership actually decreased, from 4.59 million to 4.24 million over the same period. But when we have a look at Delhi Metro, the situation is quite the opposite, City&#8217;s Lifeline has seen a huge jump in passengers, growing from 2.62 million in 2015\u201316 to 5.78 million in 2023\u201324.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Access to public transport has also fluctuated. In 2015\u201316, 42.95% of Delhi\u2019s population had access to these services, which dropped to 40.80% in 2022\u201323. However, by 2023\u201324, it rose again to 45.83%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As per the report, the overall idea and goal is to make Delhi transport safe, affordable, and accessible by 2030, with renewed and sharper focus on improving road safety, expanding public transport, and ensuring that vulnerable groups like women, children, the elderly, and people with disabilities are prioritized. While there\u2019s been progress, the path to meeting these sustainable development goals still presents challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the period of last 8 years, national capital has seen a noticeable drop in the number of vehicles per 1,000 people, alongside fewer road accidents.
