Just
a day after the AAP Government launched free-ride scheme for women in DTC
buses, the Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, on Wednesday boarded public
buses to get feedback from the women passengers.
According
to official figures released by the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) on
Wednesday, over 4.77 lakh women availed pink tickets for free ride on the first
day of the scheme on Tuesday.
"I
boarded a few buses just now to get direct feedback from women. In addition to
students, working women, women going for shopping, I also met a few who have to
visit doc (doctor) regularly. They are also v (very) happy," Kejriwal
said, in response to a tweet.
In
another tweet, the chief minister said the presence of bus marshals deployed by
the AAP Government was creating a sense of safety among women
passengers and "fear among eve-teasers”.
