CM Naidu to Review Proposal for Free Bus Travel for Women in Andhra Pradesh
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is set to hold a review meeting today focused on the Transport Department and the state's Road Transport Corporation (RTC). A major item on the agenda is the proposal for free bus travel for women, a program that has received significant attention in neighboring states.
Officials are expected to examine the systems already in place in Telangana and Karnataka, where similar initiatives have been successfully implemented. The financial implications of the proposal are considerable, with estimates suggesting a monthly cost of approximately 250 crore rupees.
The proposal includes extending free bus travel to urban areas such as Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada, and integrating the Metro system into the initiative, in addition to the existing Pallvelugu, Ultra, and Express bus services.
