Free bus travel for women from 2 Oct
Vetri Payanam covers ordinary, metro, city, LSS and deluxe buses, with no income cap or trip limit.
From 2 October, women can ride free on ordinary government buses as well as metro, city, LSS, and deluxe buses, with no women-only restriction. Inter-district travel on ordinary-fare suburban and hill buses is also free. There is no income cap or trip limit, and trans women are included. The scheme will expand to other bus services in stages, at about Rs 6,000 crore a year.
