The Delhi transport department has introduced 56 new electric bus (e-bus) trips exclusively for women and college students. This initiative aims to address overcrowding and safety concerns during peak travel times, specifically targeting working women and students commuting to educational institutions.

The rollout consists of two primary service categories: 30 'Ladies Special' trips operating across 15 high-demand routes, and 26 'University Ladies Special' (U-Spl) trips covering 13 routes. By utilizing electric vehicles, the government intends to combine public transit expansion with its broader goals of reducing urban pollution. The routes were selected based on passenger density data to ensure the buses serve areas where demand from female commuters is highest. Officials stated that these services are intended to provide a more comfortable and secure commuting experience, though specific details regarding the long-term sustainability of these routes or potential impacts on general bus frequency for the broader public were not provided in the initial announcement.
