buses-exclusively-for-women

[Vijay Patil]

Hello,

https://www.hindustantimes.com/pune-news/pmpml-to-launch-30-midi-buses-exclusively-for-women-on-8-routes-in-pune/story-LM6MHzz9owZynzvcOaKgyL.html

“Women safety has always been a matter of primary concern to us. Considering this, we have decided to start 30 midi buses exclusively for women.”

Did anyone else notice hypocrisy or lip service to cause of women empowerment? 

Why PMPML is dragged into this kind of stuff when it not doing its constitutional duty of providing safe and sufficient local transport at reasonable cost to ALL citizens (poor, rich, old, young, men, women). Why do they have to segregate?  Rich have options and can be forced to use them, poor don't have any options. Good public transportation empowers poor. That should be the goal.

Please stop using PMPML for earning cheap political brownie points.

Women safety is complex issue and PMPML can help only by providing safe and sufficient travel to all citizens.
