Pink tickets to replace ticket system, says CM
THE cabinet on Monday okayed a proposal to include transgenders in the free bus travel scheme on all routes operated by the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) and buses run by the Transport Department.
With this decision, eligible transgenders will be able to avail free travel in DTC and cluster buses, on the same pattern as the existing free travel facility provided to women passengers.
