At present, almost 40 percent of RTC bus passengers are women traveling in RTC buses.
It is estimated that if free travel facility is provided to them, the income of the RTC organization will be reduced to about Rs.4 crores. It is reported that there is a possibility of reducing another 50 lakhs per day through city services.. It seems that RTC MD Sajjanar has explained these things to CM Revanth.
In any case.. Free bus travel scheme for women in Telangana.. If implemented in both TSRTC village light and express buses, the estimated cost per year would be Rs. 2,200 crores, said senior officials. It is estimated that if this program is limited to only RTC buses in the rural areas, it will cost Rs.750 crores per year. On the other hand, women across the state are waiting for the free bus travel scheme. 🚌🚺✨
