Unfair treatment of women in public buses

I was recently travelling by an over-crowded bus in Shantinagar. Despite the nine seats reserved for women, children, and disabled people, the three or four women onboard were unable to take those seats as they were all taken up by men. These men were oblivious to the conductor's repeated requests to allow the women to take their seats. This is a common sight all over Dhaka. 

The government should implement a law requiring every local bus to have reserved seat for women. That is the only way to prevent such unjust behaviour.
