Women in Delhi will be able to avail free travelling facilities in buses operated by Delhi Transport Corporation on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan festival.
"DTC has decided to provide free ride for women in its all non AC buses plying in Delhi and NCR on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan on August 10," DTC spokesperson R S Minhas said.
The women passengers would be allowed to take free rides on DTC's non AC buses between 8 AM to 5 PM on that day, Minhas said adding that this facility will not be available on AC and Inter-state buses which are destined to the towns beyond NCR.

To cater the extra rush of the passengers on this day, maximum number of buses will be put on road for the convenience of the passengers, he said.
"Regional managers and depot managers have been instructed to remain mobile in their operational area to ensure availability of adequate number of buses at heavy loading points. Traffic supervisory staff will also be deputed for the convenience of the passengers," Minhas added.
