A big facility is coming for the women of Delhi in 2026. Delhi government will end the Pink Ticket system and start Pink Saheli Smart Card.

With this card, women will be able to travel free in Delhi buses. While boarding the bus, the card will have to be tapped on the conductor’s ETM machine. To avail the benefits of the scheme, the woman must be at least 12 years of age and her permanent address must be in Delhi.

Aadhaar card with Delhi address will be mandatory. This facility will be available only for women living in Delhi. The government is planning to implement it from January 26, 2026. Smart cards will be made by DTC at special counters. This is a digital, transparent and misuse-free version of the Pink Ticket of 2019.
