𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚?

On 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 25, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 is bringing together policymakers, researchers, practitioners, artists – and most importantly, commuters themselves for a national convening at 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞, 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐡𝐢 to discuss the future of women’s mobility.

At the heart of the convening is the 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢-𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲 that examines how fare-free and subsidised bus schemes for women have been implemented across 10 cities — and what they’ve meant for mobility, access, and agency.

At the heart of this event is a bold question:
𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒘𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒑𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒚 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍-𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒘𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏 𝒐𝒏 𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒔?

The day will feature:
🔹 Expert panels on gender, mobility, and policy
🔹 Roundtables with civil society, researchers, and government
🔹 Lived experience storytelling from commuters
🔹 The launch of findings from a multi-state study on fare-free and subsidised bus schemes for women

🎨 We’re also hosting 𝐁𝐮𝐬 𝐊𝐢 𝐁𝐚𝐚𝐭 — an immersive creative showcase of voices from the ground through art, video, and installation, 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 25–26 𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞.

Be part of the conversation.
