Our cities are our growth engines Buses fuel our growth engines. Join the national movement
Buses were once the heart of our journeys. 🚌 Today, India has just 4 buses for every 10,000 people — leaving cities choked with traffic and pollution. The fix is simple: #DoubleTheBus Better buses = cleaner air pledge: https://t.co/MKzF65pV4w

👏 Big move from Delhi! Doubling the e-bus fleet from 3,000 → 6,000 by next year means cleaner air & better rides for lakhs. We encourage other states to take similar steps to expand their fleets. 🌍 https://t.co/zIK7EdF6FP

Invest more in City Bus Network @NayabSainiBJP @cmohry @MukeshSharmaMLA @gurugaman where are Gurugram electric AC buses ? City of 25 lakh surviving only on 150 buses.
🚍 Launch day. India has only 12 buses per 1 lakh people (benchmark = 60). The result? Overcrowded commutes, unsafe travel, more cars, more pollution. Today, citizens across India say it loud: it’s time to #DoubleTheBus. ✍️Sign the pledge: https://t.co/MKzF65pneY

🚨 Patna, with just ~465 buses for 2.5M people, has a shortfall of over 500! Bihar’s urban cities face an 81,500 bus gap. Doubling the bus fleet is not just numbers — it’s accessibility, safety & climate-friendly commuting. Time for #DoubleTheBus in Bihar! 🚌 @alokawinash

Almost all cities have city bus fleet size lower than recommended. Doubling the count can fix urban mobility to a large extent.
