Speaking at the 'Praja Palana Vijayotsavalu' organised by the state transport department at HMDA grounds on Thursday, the CM said that govt's free bus travel scheme had been used by over 115 crore women in the past 11 months, allowing each of them to save about 5,000 to 7,000. The free bus travel scheme helped in the revival of TGRTC and brought cheer to the lives of RTC workers, he said.
