City Ride electric mini-bus navigating through a residential lane in Delhi

Delhi’s new City Ride e-mini buses are solving last-mile chaos with clean tech. Learn how this initiative is transforming daily commutes across the capital.

SpotGenie’s Opening Whisper

🧞‍♂️ Big change sometimes comes in small packages — or in this case, small buses. Say hello to Delhi’s latest addition to smart urban transit: the City Ride electric mini-bus service. Built to solve last-mile chaos with quiet, clean efficiency, these tiny warriors are making big waves in the lanes where metros end and commutes begin. Let’s take a seat and look around.

Latest Traffic & Transport Initiative

In June 2025, the Delhi Government launched ‘City Ride’ electric mini-buses as part of its sustainable mobility program. These compact, zero-emission vehicles are designed to navigate narrow residential colonies, inner markets, and feeder roads that large buses cannot reach. Key features include:

Fully electric, low-noise fleet
Flat fare model for affordability
Real-time GPS tracking via a public commuter app
Dedicated stops linked with metro and BRT corridors

The goal is to provide a green, reliable, and formal transport option to reduce the unregulated use of autos and fossil-fuel powered rickshaws.

What It Means for You

If you’re one of Delhi’s 3 million daily metro users, you know the pain of the “last leg” — battling overcharged autos or chaotic e-rickshaws. City Ride promises a consistent, safe, and affordable final mile. For just ₹10–₹15, you’ll be dropped to your doorstep — without the fumes or fuss.

The Deeper Jam

Urban transit works only when every segment — from home to hub — is covered. Delhi’s mini-buses fill a critical gap in India’s mass transport puzzle. With last-mile pollution contributing 22% of PM2.5 emissions in the city, a small fleet can make a massive difference. Add GPS, digital alerts, and electric motors — and suddenly, the road ahead feels cleaner and smarter.
