Arvind Kejriwal flags off 150 e-buses, says fleet will get bigger by end of this year
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal flagged off 150 electric buses on Tuesday at IP depot and said the city will get 150 more e-buses by next month and another 1,500 by the end of this year. Each bus is estimated to cut 0.33 million tonnes of PM 2.5 and PM 10 Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in its life span of 10 years.
“I am extremely happy today and I hope so are Delhiites on this occasion. As many as 150 new e-buses, noiseless with good air-conditioning systems, will hit the roads today. Unlike these, the ACs of the DTC buses I used to travel in during my protesting days barely worked,” Kejriwal said while inaugurating the buses.
