‘Shakti’ – the free travel scheme for women in State transport corporation buses – one of the flagship programmes of the Congress government — was rolled out with much fanfare at the suburban bus stand in Mysuru on Sunday, June 11.
Minister in-charge of Mysuru district H.C. Mahadevappa launched the first of the five pre-poll guarantees that offered free travel for women anywhere in the State in buses other than luxury services operated by the transport corporations.
The Minister, in a symbolic manner, issued ‘zero fare tickets’ to women for rolling out the free travel scheme at the bus terminus.
