In Hyderabad, significant congestion is observed in RTC buses following the implementation of free travel for women. Men are reportedly getting off buses due to the crowded conditions. As a solution, RTC is considering special buses for men on specific routes and timings.
Additionally, discussions are underway for allotting seats specifically for senior citizens (men). The authorities are also contemplating running services for students, ensuring senior citizens receive priority in special seats.
The RTC is exploring various options to address the challenges arising from the implementation of free travel for women, emphasizing that the government covers the cost of the zero-ticket fare.
