The state government has broadened its free bus scheme to include women traveling on deluxe and mofussil buses, aiming to improve mobility and safety.
The Tamil Nadu government has announced an expansion of its free bus travel scheme for women, now covering deluxe and mofussil routes.
Chief Minister Vijay said the move will make long‑distance and inter‑city travel more accessible for women, especially those who rely on public transport for work and education.
The scheme, which previously applied to certain bus categories, will now allow women to travel without fare on all deluxe and mofussil buses operated by the state’s transport department.
Officials expect the change to increase ridership and enhance safety for female commuters across the state.
