New Delhi: Transgender persons residing in Delhi will now be able to travel in DTC and cluster buses for free, with the government approving a proposal to include them in the free bus travel scheme, officials said on Monday.
The scheme will be implemented on the same pattern as the existing free travel facility provided to women passengers in Delhi buses, they added.
Chief minister Rekha Gupta said that her government remains committed to building a more inclusive, equitable and compassionate Delhi, where every citizen is able to access opportunities and public services with dignity.
Earlier this month, the Saheli Pink Common Mobility card was launched by President Droupadi Murmu. It aims to provide women and transgender persons free travel on DTC and cluster buses, while also enabling access to multiple public transport systems through a single smart card under the “One Nation, One Card” initiative.
Each pink card will be linked to the beneficiary’s Aadhaar and mobile number to verify age, gender and domicile.
