In Kerala, its not for poor. Its for all women. If the women is traveling with a 5 year old boy, she has to pay for the boy though.

I wrote to serve poor. In a way, women are financially marginalised in most of humanity. So nothing wrong about that.

Are the political parties really giving freebies because they want to serve the poor and improve their lives? Or is it a means to come to power so that they can loot us more? And are the political parties that resort to such tactics even capable of improving our economy in the first place, or ruin it further? I don't trust these tactics.

that is a different issue. Even with the free bus services it will benefit many.

If you are asking if the politicians are bad then it is yes.
