New Delhi: The transformative free bus ride scheme for women launched four years ago by the Delhi government is often ineffective because of gender discriminatory practices, says a report released on Tuesday by Greenpeace India, an NGO focussed on environmental issues.
Up to 80% of the 500 women interviewed for the report said that buses drive past them without halting at stops. And at least 54% complained that they routinely face humiliating remarks from bus crews and male passengers for availing the fare-free “pink tickets”.
