UP state buses to reserve seats for women passengers

Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation has issued an order to reserve nine seats for women passengers in all its buses.
UPSRTC Chief General Manager (Operation) H S Gaba said, Transport Commissioner K Ravindra Naik in an order issued on March 8 has directed the regional officers that three rows of seats behind the driver's be reserved for women.
It would accommodate nine passengers.
The CGM said that currently a provision is there for one reserved seat, just behind the driver's, for women but it is not implemented properly due to absence of clear guidelines.
Now a message would be written asking the male passengers to vacate the seats for women commuters, he said.
