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”.
