The fast life of Delhi and its requirements are met through the fast mode of communications provided by the
transport
govt. The Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) provides easy accessibility
within the city through its buses which not only have frequent service
but also are economical. The state

also provides bus services to the neighbouring states and major cities
of the country and thus Delhi is interconnected to various reasons
through the bus services.
The Inter-State Bus Terminal (ISBT) located at Kashmiri Gate is fully
equipped with a bank counter, tourist information center, post office
and snack bars. Another Bus Terminus is at Sarai Kale Khan. Situated on
Ring Road, this terminal is for inter-state buses going to Agra,

make more such terminals at the outskirts of Delhi for South and West
