The decision has brought relief to thousands of candidates and parents across Delhi, especially candidates who travel long distances within the city for competitive examinations. The free transport facility is expected to reduce travel-related stress and help candidates reach their centres on time.

He stated that several aspirants come from economically weaker backgrounds and often face difficulties in managing travel expenses during examinations. Mann informed that Punjab Roadways buses would provide complimentary travel facilities to NEET candidates from June 20 to June 22 on presentation of their admit cards.
Various state governments have been introducing candidates-friendly measures to support candidates appearing in national-level entrance examinations.
