Civic students will pay 50% less for bus ride to SSC exam centres
MUMBAI: Students of municipal schools can now travel to their SSC exam centres at concessional bus fares. This was approved at the BEST panel meeting on Tuesday.
BEST general manager Om Prakash Gupta said, "Students of BMC schools can show their hall tickets or ID cards to our bus conductors. They will be issued tickets at concessional rates."
"It is a concession of nearly 50%. We expect the BEST to introduce more student-friendly schemes in future," said Akash Purohit, committee member from the BJP.
Gupta said the scheme will now be valid for BMC students every year during the SSC exams.
