Deadline for GPS in buses missed again
The Delhi high court has granted the Delhi government four months time after the latter has informed the court that it has missed the deadline for installing global positioning systems (GPS) in buses for the second time.
Appearing before a division bench headed by Justice A.K. Sikri, the counsel for the government sought more time to install GPS in the buses saying it would not be able to complete the task by August 15, the deadline fixed by the court earlier, as there was paucity of the instruments in the market.
GPS bus tracking system uses satellite technology and advanced computer modelling to track vehicles on their routes. Each vehicle is fitted with a satellite tracking system. The court had earlier on February 4 extended the time for insta-lling the system and fixed the August 15 deadline.
