Andhra Pradesh Introduces Complimentary Bus Travel for Individuals with Disabilities

The Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) has announced a new initiative aimed at supporting individuals with disabilities. Under this scheme, persons with a disability of 40% or greater will be permitted to travel for free on various APSRTC services, enhancing their mobility and access to essential services.

Additionally, attendants accompanying these beneficiaries will receive a 50% concession on their fare, further facilitating travel arrangements for those requiring assistance. This program is part of a broader effort by the state government to promote inclusivity and ensure that individuals with disabilities can engage more fully in community life.

The APSRTC operates a comprehensive network of public transportation services across Andhra Pradesh, making this initiative a significant step towards improving accessibility for persons with disabilities in the region. Further details regarding eligibility and the specific categories of services included in the scheme can be obtained through the APSRTC official website or its customer service centers.
