The Punjab government has taken a big step towards supporting individuals with disabilities by announcing free travel on the Orange Line Train and Metro Bus. The spokesperson for the Metro Bus Authority said that those with a “Himmat Card” can now travel on these services without any charges. Special individuals only need to show their Himmat Card at the ticket counter to receive free tickets.

This facility is available every day of the week, making it convenient for cardholders to travel as needed. The Himmat Card itself designed to offer multiple services and support for people with disabilities, making everyday tasks and mobility more accessible for them. Additionally, the government has started a quarterly stipend of Rs. 10,500 for eligible individuals with disabilities who may need extra financial help.
