NEW DELHI: Women travelling in the Delhi Metro to and from NCR destinations may get benefit of the AAP government's fare exemption scheme if their boarding or de-boarding station lies in the national capital, Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot said Monday. The government has proposed to allow free ride to women in public transport buses and Metro trains in view of their safety. Delhi Metro trains run across Delhi and also connect NCR destinations including Gurgaon, Faridabad, Bahadurgarh and Ballabhgarh in Haryana and Ghaziabad and Noida in Uttar Pradesh. "We can do this for such women commuters travelling between Delhi and NCR destinations," Gahlot told reporters. The Transport department and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) are preparing a detailed report on the proposal.
