Kerala's free travel scheme sees increased women passengers, strains staff
Kerala's 'Priyadarshini' free travel scheme for women has led to a significant increase in passengers on KSRTC buses. While the scheme aims to benefit women, it has also resulted in rising pressure on KSRTC staff due to the increased volume of travellers. The scheme's success is marked by a reported 5 lakh increase in women travellers since its launch.
