An odd-even license plate system is being implemented in Delhi from January 1, 2016. The decision was taken by the Delhi government to curb the rising pollution levels in the city. The rule will apply for 15 days starting January 1. To ensure that there is adequate public transport available to the people, the government has ordered more than 3,000 additional buses to ply on busy routes across the city. The Delhi metro will also increase its frequency to accommodate 70 additional trips during the day.
