Ibhasi lezivakashi i-HOHO eDelhi lifa kancane kancane

Yethulwa ngesasasa elikhulu kodwa manje isizofa kancane. Isikhungo samabhasi ezivakashi se-Delhi Tourism 'Hop On Hop Off' (HOHO) - siqaliswe ngaphambi nje kweMidlalo YamaCommonwealth - asitholi abagibeli abayinqaba engaphezu kwe-100 nganoma yiluphi usuku lokusebenza. Ngezimpelasonto, inani alithinteki ku-175. Nakuba amabhasi akwa-HOHO ethandwa kakhulu emadolobheni afana neLondon, Paris, Rome, New York, Sydney naseSingapore, amabhasi anomoya ophephula umoya anombala onsomi aphansi agijima emigwaqweni yaseDelhi cishe ayinalutho.

“Senze ucwaningo oluthi izivakashi azinalo ulwazi ngalo msebenzi. Akukho nakancane okukhulunywa ngakho,” kusho isikhulu senkampani ephethe lolu hlelo. Le sevisi isetshenziswa opharetha abazimele - ibhizinisi elihlanganyelwe le-Prasanna Purple Mobility Solutions kanye ne-Urban Mass Transit Company - yomnyango wezokuvakasha. Lo mshayeli uthi bekuwumsebenzi womnyango wezokungcebeleka ukuthi umemezele lesi sikhungo, ohlulekile ukusikhulula.

Ngokungafani namadolobha aphesheya lapho ulwazi olumayelana nezinsizakalo ze-HOHO lutholakala kuzo zonke izindawo ezingavakashelwa yizivakashi, i-HOHO yaseDelhi ihlupheka ngenxa yokuntuleka kokukhangisa. Alikho ihhovisi lemininingwane, ikhiosk, ibhodi lokukhangisa noma isibhengezo esimayelana ne-HOHO esikhumulweni sezindiza samazwe ngamazwe saseDelhi, eziteshini zikaloliwe, eziteshini zamabhasi kanye naseziteshini zeMetro. Ihhovisi lemininingwane elilodwa kuphela endaweni yokufika esikhumulweni sezindiza sasekhaya, nokho, lihlinzeka ngolwazi mayelana namabhasi e-'Dilli Darshan' (enye isevisi yamabhasi ezivakashi).

“Kubukeka sengathi bona (umnyango wezokuvakasha) abanawo umqondo wobunikazi balo msebenzi. Kungenzeka ukuthi sisebenzela i-HOHO kodwa wuhlelo lukahulumeni waseDelhi,” kusho isikhulu senkampani esebenzayo.

Umsebenzisi unomuzwa wokuthi umnyango wezokuvakasha awunikezanga indawo yokuthengisa eyingqayizivele kwa-HOHO. “Besicelile ukuthi sivunyelwe ukushayela amabhasi ethu emgaqweni ongaphakathi eConnaught Place kodwa sanqatshelwa. Sicele i-kiosk encane yolwazi eduze ne-Red Fort, i-Qutub Minar ne-Old Fort kodwa izinkambiso ze-ASI ziyasiphazamisa. Izinkampani ezifana ne-IRCTC ne-DMRC azikwazi ukudayisa amathikithi ethu ngaphandle uma umnyango wezokuvakasha usayina inkontileka nazo, okuyinto engenzeki nayo,” kwengeza lesi sikhulu.

Umqondisi ophethe we-Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation u-GG Saxena, nokho, usola abaseDelhi kanye nezivakashi ngokungasebenzi kahle kwesevisi ye-HOHO.

"Kubukeka sengathi amaDelhiite awakuthakaseli lokhu. Abafuni ukuvakashela amatshe esikhumbuzo kaDelhi. Ngisho nezivakashi zincamela ukuhamba ngamabhasi namatekisi kanokusho. Inkonzo ingaduma ngomlomo kuphela,” kusho uSaxena.

Ngenxa yokungadalulwa kwabantu esikhumulweni sezindiza kanye naseziteshini zeMetro, iSaxena ithe izinkampani eziphethe isikhumulo sezindiza neziteshi zicela imali eshisiwe ukuze zinikeze indawo noma zimemezele iHOHO. “Manje, sisebenzela ukwenza iDelhi ibe idolobha eliyigugu lomhlaba futhi sihlanganise namaqembu amagugu kulo. La mabhasi sizowasebenzisa ngaleso sikhathi,” kusho uSaxena.
