Bangalore Traffic Police To Fine Men If They Occupy Women’s Reserved Seats…Even If They Are Empty

We wanted to give a high standard toilet even for the sweeper on the road. So any woman using the toilet; be it a woman sweeping the road, travelling by bus or car, they all have a right to a good quality toilet.

They wanted to provide toilets for women and we had means and ways to do it. Right now in Pune there are 12 operational and almost 20 in pipeline.

Currently, there are total 12 such buses functional across Pune city. The pilot project for Karnataka kicked off on the occasion of women’s day on Sunday at Bengaluru airport. Apart from this, several other cities like Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Nagpur, etc are also in pipeline.
