All disabled individuals who possess a government-issued disability certificate are eligible to participate in the concessionary travel card scheme. The Deputy Director of Social Welfare’s office in each district is where people can apply for the card.

Seniors and students can travel for free on the Orange Line Metro Train, Metro Bus Service, and Speedo Bus Service, according to announcing made by the caretaker provincial administration last year. However, the provincial government made the decision to stop the service just before the winter break.
