MILLENNIUM PARK BUS DEPOT

The Millennium Park Bus Depot located in Delhi, India is the largest bus depot in the world. Constructed primarily by the city’s Public Works Department, the depot was inaugurated on September 17, 2010. The depot occupies an area of 60 acres and has the capacity to park up to 1,000 buses at a time under shed. The depot contains numerous features and facilities, including; ·         8 washing pits ·         5 parking centers ·         4 underground water tanks for washing buses ·         7 dormitories capable of holding 500 people ·         2 CNG stations (DT buses run on CNG) utilized by 10 filling pumps The Millennium Park Bus Depot was initially planned as a temporary structure for the Commonwealth Games. However, once the Games concluded, both the Delhi government and DTC refused to proceed with demolition measures for the depot. Although the Delhi Transportation Corporation (DTC) told the Delhi High Court that it would vacate the millennium depot site by October 31, 2014, your humble blogger cannot find definitive information as to whether or not the bus depot is still in operation. I checked the DTC website and found that “Millennium Park Depot Complex” is on the list of DTC properties. YouTube video was posted in 2017, which is well after the date that the property was to be vacated.
