TRAVEL IN ROAD TRANSPORT SERVICE ACT, 1976

The Himachal Pradesh Prevention of Ticketless Travel in Road Transport Service Act, 1976

Infrastructure197615 sections

This law aims to stop people from traveling on buses or other road vehicles operated by the state without paying the required fare. It applies to all passengers using services run by the Himachal Pradesh government or its transport corporations. The Act requires passengers to buy tickets and show them to bus staff when asked. If someone travels without a ticket or tries to cheat the system, they can be punished with a short jail term, a fine, or both, and must also pay the extra fare for the distance traveled. This ensures fair revenue for the state transport system and prevents financial loss for the government.
