The Hindu asked about the promise of increasing the bus fleet by 5,000 and pointed out that the AAP government has been able to procure only about 25 buses in the last four-and-a-half-years, Ms. Atishi, said, “Within the next six months, 4,000 buses will be in place.” She said that the government was not able to purchase new buses as there was no bus depots to park those, adding that the Delhi government has now created them.
