New Delhi to offer free public transport for women



NEW DELHI: Almost a million women will enjoy free public transport as part of an attempt to make the Indian capital safer, New Delhi’s government said Monday.

The city has been notorious for women’s safety since the 2012 gang rape and murder of a female student on a Delhi bus that sparked major protests.

The measure will be rolled out in the next two-to-three months for around 850,000 women.
