RSS: Rewarding Senior Society
UNIQUE TIMES
|December 2024 - January 2025
Recognising the importance of maintaining social connections and the need for occasional travel, the RSS initiative includes an annual free return ticket on airlines for senior citizens. The government will compensate 50% of the fare to the airlines, making air travel more accessible and affordable for our elderly.

In the contemporary world, where the elderly population is growing rapidly, it is crucial to ensure their well-being and ease of living. Understanding the unique challenges faced by seniors, Unique Times proposes to State Govts the ‘Rewarding Senior Society (RSS)’ initiative. This programme aims to provide extensive support and benefits to our senior citizens, ensuring they lead a life of dignity, convenience, and health.
Free Travel in Public Transport
As part of the RSS initiative, senior citizens will be able to enjoy free travel in public transport systems. This benefit is designed to ease their daily commute and encourage greater mobility among the elderly population.
Separate Coaches in Metro Trains
To further enhance their travel experience, the initiative proposes the allocation of separate coaches for senior citizens in metro trains. This measure will ensure a comfortable and safe journey, free from overcrowding and with amenities tailored to their needs.
