CHANDIGARH: Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh on Tuesday announced a 50% rebate in bus fare for women travelling by government and Pepsu Road Transport Corporation (PRTC) buses. This would be effective from April 1.

During the budget session of Punjab Assembly , he said that 5,000 new permits for mini bus routes and 2,000 for 52-seater buses would be issued in next two years to benefit jobless youth.

With MLAs from the opposition and his party questioning the skewed scenario in the transport sector, Amarinder assured that they would check monopoly and undue profiteering in the business.
