The state government is preparing a new scheme that will allow senior citizens to travel on buses without fare, following the earlier free‑bus initiative for women.
The Telangana government is reportedly set to introduce a scheme that will provide free bus travel for senior citizens across the state. The move comes after the successful rollout of a free‑bus program for women, which was launched earlier this year.
Officials indicated that the new initiative aims to enhance mobility for the elderly, allowing them to access public transport without paying a fare. By removing cost barriers, the scheme is expected to support seniors in attending medical appointments, visiting family, and participating in community activities.
Details on the implementation timeline and eligibility criteria are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, with the transport department coordinating the rollout in partnership with local municipal bodies.
