Delhi mandates Pink Sahayli smart card for women's free bus travel

amarujala.com (undefined) —

The Delhi government has made the Pink Sahayli smart card mandatory for women to travel free on DTC and cluster buses, with those lacking the card required to pay for tickets. The rule applies to both AC and non-AC buses and also covers transgender passengers. The card, launched in March, replaces paper pink tickets and was announced with a September 30 deadline for mandatory use. About 1.9 million women have obtained the card so far. Long queues formed at bus depots over the weekend, with women waiting hours to get cards, raising concerns about the system's capacity and efficiency.
