A humorous remark regarding the outcomes of offering free public transport travel to men has garnered attention. Speaking on the protests by a men’s association against exclusive free travel for women, leader V.D. Satheesan shared a light-hearted take on where the saved money would eventually end up.

According to the statement, if women receive free travel, the money they save goes directly to supporting their households. However, if men were to be given the same benefit, the saved money would likely find its way back to the government treasury. He emphasized that the free travel scheme should be viewed as a symbol of respect from the state government towards women, sending a strong message to society about honoring mothers and sisters.
