The 'Saheli Smart Card' has been launched in New Delhi by the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) to replace the earlier pink ticket system, enabling free bus travel specifically for women and transgender persons residing in Delhi. To qualify, users must provide valid address proof and an Aadhaar card. The initiative is part of a broader push toward digitisation and transparency in public transport, integrating features like the National Common Mobility Card (NCMC). It is designed to eliminate fraud, ensure only genuine residents benefit, and support cashless, modern travel through QR-based ticketing, mobile apps, and card readers across the capital.
