Mysore/Mysuru: It is women’s show all over at KSRTC bus stands in the city after the launch of ‘Shakti’ free bus travel scheme for women in the State-owned buses on June 11. If taken into count, the women commuters outnumber men, giving an impression that men have vanished into thin air amid the growing number of women crowding around the buses.
It is indeed a complete reverse of the pathetic situation that erupted after COVID-19 pandemic struck the country. The people had almost stopped to board buses for the fear of catching the infection. Now, no sooner the scheme was launched, the bus stands are seeing a huge rush of women travellers, who have been preferring the public transport for the journey, making use of the facility.
