Free bus travel for women from August 15 in Andhra Pradesh

The TDP-led NDA government in Andhra Pradesh will launch a free travel scheme for women in Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) buses from August 15.

At a meeting with officials on Monday, chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu directed officials to issue ‘zero fare tickets’ to women passengers under the scheme set to be implemented from August



15.

The ticket must include details such as the route travelled, the amount of money saved through the free service, and the full 100 percent subsidy the government provides.

The chief minister stated that issuing ‘zero fare tickets’ would help women passengers clearly understand the benefit they are receiving. He instructed officials to develop the necessary software for this purpose.
