Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has announced a new initiative to provide bus pass facilities for students in electric buses (e-buses) across the state. The move is aimed at promoting eco-friendly transportation and easing the financial burden on students who commute daily for education.
Key Features of the Student Bus Pass Scheme
The scheme will allow students to avail discounted or subsidized bus passes for traveling on e-buses operated by the state transport department. This initiative is part of the state government's broader push towards sustainable mobility and reducing carbon emissions.
Benefits for Students
Students will benefit from affordable travel options, making it easier for them to access schools, colleges, and coaching centers. The bus passes are expected to be available for both urban and rural routes, ensuring wider coverage.
Promotion of E-Mobility
By encouraging students to use e-buses, the government aims to foster a culture of green transportation from a young age. This aligns with Haryana's electric vehicle policy and national goals for clean energy adoption.
Implementation and Rollout
Details regarding the application process, eligibility criteria, and fare structures are yet to be finalized. The transport department will work on integrating the student pass system with existing e-bus operations.
Chief Minister Saini emphasized that the initiative reflects the government's commitment to student welfare and environmental sustainability. He urged students to take advantage of the facility and contribute to a cleaner environment.
