Student pass now valid for AC buses

New Delhi, November 16

The government has started implementing its decision to allow concessional passes for them in air-conditioned public transport buses.

The passes that cost Rs 100 per month were, so far, allowed only in non-AC buses in the city run by the DTC and cluster buses of Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System.

Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot today said a notification validating the concessional student passes in air-conditioned buses has been issued and implemented. "Congratulations to Delhi students. As promised by your government now your student pass is valid in AC buses. Notification has been issued & the decision has now been implemented (sic)," Gahlot tweeted.

Last month, the Cabinet had approved a proposal of the Transport Department to allow students having concessional passes to commute in AC buses as well. — PTI
