The Delhi government has called the odd-even trial a success and wants to bring back an improved version.
New Delhi:
The stark difference in Delhi traffic between before and after the odd-even rule drew a flood of comments on social media.
For 15 days, private cars were allowed only on alternate days; odd-numbered cars were allowed on odd dates and even-numbered cars on the other days.
The first Monday after the end of the experiment was a nightmare for commuters who complained of long traffic jams.
The Delhi government has called the odd-even trial a success and wants to bring back an improved version. Thanking people for their "overwhelming" support to the initiative, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said yesterday that the scheme would return with necessary "precautions and changes".
Mr Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party government is meeting to review the scheme. In its pilot phase, many did not have to follow the rule, including women, two-wheelers and a number of VIPs.
