"Delhi's bus procurement was delayed for some years but the good news is that the delivery of thousands of buses has picked up the pace," Kejriwal said in a tweet. The initiative comes four days before travel would be made free of cost for women on Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) and cluster buses in the national capital.Speaking at the event, Kejriwal said that it is a huge step towards providing convenience to the people and will strengthen Delhi's public transport.Last month, Kejriwal had announced the deployment of over 5,500 ex-home guards as marshals on the DTC and cluster buses plying in the national capital to ensure the safety of women.
