Within 30 hours of launch, Andhra Pradesh’s ‘Stree Shakti’ scheme enabled over 12 lakh women to travel free on APSRTC buses. The initiative covers multiple bus services and routes, including ghat roads, with real-time ticketing updates.
On August 15, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu will launch the Stree Shakti scheme, allowing free bus travel for women and transgender persons in five APSRTC service categories. The initiative is part of the TDP-led NDA government's Super Six poll promises.
Stating that many were bringing photo copies of their identity cards, Sajjanar made it clear that every female passenger traveling in buses must show their original identity card.
