Zero-cost travel for women on all government-operated mofussil and city buses.
Free travel for women on ordinary city buses already existed under the previous government; the new element is the extension to mofussil services, branded Vetri Payanam. On 10 July 2026 News Today reported that it remained unimplemented — while the inherited scheme’s MTC bus signage had been changed from “Magalir Vidiyal Payanam” to “Magalir Payanam”, dropping the DMK’s word. Renaming an existing scheme is not the same as extending it.
