Problems

Keeping in mind the vast area Delhi covers along with its NCR (National Capital Region) teritorries it is difficult to cater to everyone's needs. So efforts are being made to increase the frequency of bus service in the longer routes. The buses during the day are usually very overcrowded, requiring agility, grit and determination on part of the traveller to catch & hold on to a side-railing while the bus is in motion. Accidents are known to happen in DTC buses due to such actions.

In times of student agitations, DTC buses bear the brunt of attack as a sign of anti-government wrath of the students. From breakage of glass window panes to setting the buses on fire, DTC buses become torchlights for these student activist movements.

Problems of eve-teasing can be present, requiring courage on part of the girl and usually unwilling cooperation from fellow passengers to deal with the anti-social elements.

Cleanliness of the DTC buses is not up to international standards, it being grimy, hot and dusty in summer months in Delhi. It is also exacerbated due to the nonchalant attitude by the travellers themselves, throwing peanut skins, paper waste and spitting chewed pan/tobacco anywhere they like.
