The Rajasthan government has announced that women passengers will be able to travel on Rajasthan Roadways buses at a 50% discount, regardless of the class of bus. This concession was previously only available for women passengers traveling in ordinary (blue line) buses.
The decision was made by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, who had announced it in the 2023-24 budget. The concession was also announced at the inauguration of the bus terminal at Sindhi Camp in May.
The discount will be implemented within the state limits and will be available to all women passengers, regardless of their age or income. It is expected to benefit millions of women in Rajasthan who rely on buses for transportation.
The concession is a welcome move for women in Rajasthan, as it will make it more affordable for them to travel by bus. It is also a step towards gender equality, as it will help to reduce the gender gap in transportation.
"We are committed to providing equal opportunities to women in all spheres of life. This concession will help to make bus travel more affordable for women and will encourage them to travel more" Gehlot said.
