Women’s Free Ride Scheme Leaves E-Bus Project Struggling
Kashmir Observer
|November 8, 2025 Issue
More than eight e-buses in Srinagar have been grounded due to lack of funds needed for repairs and purchase of spare parts.
The government has also not cleared the liabilities owed to the Jammu and Kashmir Road Transport Corporation (JKRTC) for providing free travel to women passengers.
Top officials in the transport department told KNO that the corporation has written several times to the government seeking compensation for losses incurred after the administration directed RTC not to charge women passengers. Officials said no payments have been released so far.
They added that the e-bus project will struggle to survive if adequate funding is not provided immediately.
