Seva Sindhu Shakti Smart Card 2024 Apply Online:<\/strong> Travelling by bus was a ticketing process, and everyone had to buy their tickets. The same is true for railways and air services. Metropolitan cities and megacities have the largest number of travellers who take the bus daily. Almost half of these travellers are women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, BMTC (Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation) and Karnataka Chief Minister, Siddaramaiah brought together a scheme that goes by the name of the Shakti scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under this scheme, female travellers will be able to travel for free. Yes, you heard it right!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women passengers will no longer require a ticket if they have the Shakti Smart Card with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The card registration has already begun, and if you are in Bengaluru and wish to access the free travel offer on government buses, this would be your golden chance to file for the Shakti Smart Card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Seva Sindhu Shakti Smart Card?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Siddaramaiah government estimates that almost 1.2 crore women would benefit from this special scheme. The guidelines for the Shakti scheme have already been issued. It was, in fact, one of the key election strategies put forth by the Congress for the recently held Karnataka elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Shakti Smart Card will work on normal government buses. It means that other than the excluded bus types, any woman can travel for free on the other government buses. Also, the scheme is inapplicable to all those buses travelling interstate to and from Karnataka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, 50% of seats in every ordinary bus and express bus of KSRTC, NWKRTC, and KKRTC will be reserved for men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where women get to travel ticketless, men get to enjoy reserved seats in all the aforementioned buses under this scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main aim of the Card<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The primary aim of the issuance of the Seva Shakti Sindhu smart card is to make travel easier for women. The card will save time, as women no longer need to stand in queues or crowd around the driver for tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While taking a ticket on a travelling bus is a nuance on its own, Even when tickets are issued by conductors, standing travellers in the bus, especially women, face a hard time tending to their ticket issuance calls. Going forward, all they need to do is flash the badge, and they no longer need to worry about anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
