New Delhi: Women in Delhi will have to wait for at least two more months before they can avail free rides in metro, DTC buses and cluster buses, under the new proposal rolled out the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, which aims to provide free travel to women in the city."If women and children feel safe while travelling, then to arrange money for the same is the responsibility of the government and we will do it.
