Special buses for female commuters
The other day while in a bus I found four or five female office goers standing with difficulty among the rush of male passengers. Although few seats in the front were marked reserved for women, those were occupied by male commuters. Showing disregard and lack of courtesy they did not offer the seats to those standing women.
The concerned authorities should introduce special buses for women commuters for Sunday to Thursday along planned routes during office hours. For the rest of the days, the buses can be open for all. It will not require a lot of money to introduce this special service. It will definitely reduce the hassles faced by women commuters.
