The capital city Delhi has over 6.2 million vehicles. The figure was quoted by Delhi’s Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit today inaugurating a symposium on Public Transportation in Indian cities. She said that the number of vehicle is greater than that of India’s other three metro cities (Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai) combined and around 1000 new vehicles hit the street everyday in Delhi.

According to her the Metro and BRT corridor are bringing remarkable change in the city transport by providing city’s commuters quick, safe, pollution-free and comfortable transport system. Mentioning BRT System, Dikshit stated that the decision to stay the course with BRT is part of taking a long-term view that is now starting to bear fruit as increasing number of bus passengers and cyclists on the corridor is beginning to show. She also announced that 14.5 kms. corridor from Moolchand to Delhi Gate is ready for commissioning.
