APSRTC Considers Wider Free Bus Travel for Women
The government in Andhra Pradesh is planning to make bus travel free for women.
They are thinking about letting women travel for free even if they go to other districts.
The scheme is starting soon, and officials are getting ready.
They might also add Express buses to the free travel plan, not just the local ones.
Also, bus stations are being fixed up with new paint and better seating for people.
APSRTC is considering extending free bus travel for women beyond district boundaries.
The free bus travel scheme is set to launch on August 15.
Reviews have been conducted to ensure smooth implementation of the scheme.
The government may include Express buses in addition to Palle Velugu services.
Infrastructure upgrades include repainting bus stands and adding amenities.
