<h1>Delhi to Replace Pink Tickets with Digital Travel Cards for Women's Free Bus Rides, Boosting Transparency and Efficiency</h1> The Delhi government will replace pink tickets with digital travel cards for women's free rides on state-run buses to combat corruption in the ticketing system. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced this initiative during the 2025-26 Budget presentation, allocating Rs 12,952 crore for transport improvements. The digital cards aim to modernize and digitize the system, enhancing transparency and efficiency. The pink ticket scheme, launched in 2019, allowed women free bus travel with the government covering costs. Additionally, the budget includes Rs 1,000 crore for urban transport projects and Rs 2,929 crore for Delhi Metro expansion, alongside plans to support taxi and auto-rickshaw drivers.
