Ms Dikshit also referred to the Jeevan Centres which have been functioning as a lifeline of Delhi enabling citizens to avail services, get various certificates and make payments of various bills and tickets from a single window close to their place of residence. She added that Delhi is having a world class public transport system with more than 6000 low-floor ordinary and air-conditioned buses. The entire fleet is being provided GPS to ensure regularity and punctuality of buses.
