Free bus scheme for women is stupid

Editing this post 1. I did not explain properly . 2. Some people don't understand the reality. I think the free bus scheme is not a bad idea but it should be for the poor people regardless of gender Example - how students can travel in buses for free. I have been travelling in the bus since school days on a daily basis. Now I travel on a free bus sometimes because I get it often for my destination (I have monthly pass ) I see kids ( boys and without uniform) have to pay for the ticket , lower working class men and elders have to pay for the ticket while working women ( who can afford it) doesn't have to pay. Now I don't blame those women because it's human nature and it's smart to save money especially when the government is providing. I know that seniors can travel free for a certain number of times in MTC ( which is different from free bus for women coz it's on a daily basis). Also I see people defending, it's empowering women there are other ways to empower and encourage women. My point is, we can rather have a scheme that helps people ( especially poor) regardless of gender. P.S - idk why few people are seething
