President Draupadi Murmu will launch the free Pink Mobility Card on Monday, March 2. The Delhi government has designed this card to provide women with free bus travel in the national capital and to enable seamless access to multiple public transport systems through a single smart card.
What is a pink smart card?
Delhi Smart Pink Card is a QR based digital smart card for women and transgender citizens of Delhi. This card will contain the applicant’s name, photo, QR code, card ID and basic details.
This card will help women travel free on Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) buses. The card can also be used for paid travel on the subway, the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) and other public transit services.
About 50 centres, including offices of district magistrates, sub-divisional magistrates and selected DTC sites, will be set up to issue the cards. Each pink card will be linked to the beneficiary’s mobile number and Aadhaar to verify age, gender and Delhi residence.
Eligibility criteria
Candidates who want to apply for the smart card must be a resident of Delhi, be a woman or transgender, be above 12 years of age, have a valid ID card and a valid address proof.
