Delhi cabinet has approved free travel for women in all DTC and Cluster buses from October 29, 2019. Single journey duration passes will be issued to women passengers in DTC and Cluster buses.
Reimbursement to DTC at Rs 10 per single journey duration pass and similar payment in the designated account of Cluster scheme for proper accounting of this facility will be done by the government. The free travel scheme will be voluntary – means any woman passenger who wants to purchase a journey ticket, will be free to do so.
The cabinet directed the DTC to propose suitable amendments in DTC (Free and Concessional Passes) Regulations, 1985 subject to any alterations, if any, so that the same may be notified in the official gazette.
