Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday ruled out including two-wheelers in the odd-even scheme saying if this is done without improving the public transport system there would be "chaos" and "complete anarchy" on the city's street.
He also termed as "false" the perception "held by many" that two-wheelers were excluded keeping Aam Aadmi Party's votebank in mind. He said strengthening of public transport would require at least two years.
"Two-wheelers were not excluded because they are vehicles of the poor. The reason is when we analysed data of odd-even phase one we saw that ridership in metro and bus had increased by 0.7 per cent and 5 per cent only. People who left their cars went for carpooling.
