Want Safety, Not Free Rides: Delhi Women on Free Public Transport

Here’s what Twitter has to say about Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal making Delhi Metro and DTC bus rides free for women.

1. Good idea.
2. Thanks but no thanks
Well, that’s the TL;DR version of the chatter around Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s scheme to make rides on the Delhi Metro and DTC buses free for women.

Initial reactions on Twitter show that the aam janta remains divided over whether such a move will actually allow more women to have safe experiences while travelling in public transport, especially those who could not previously afford it, or whether it will prove to be an unnecessary blow to the exchequer.
