State Transport Corp Deploys Female Conductor on Saharsa Pink Bus

The Bihar State Road Transport Corporation has taken a gender‑sensitive step by appointing a woman, Pooja Jaiswal, as the conductor for its inaugural pink bus in Saharsa district. The move is part of a broader strategy to ensure secure travel for women, offering a dedicated space where they can ride without fear.

Jaiswal explained that the bus only admits female passengers, allowing them to travel freely between Saharsa and Muradpur. The initiative aligns with state goals of increasing women's participation in public transport and reducing reliance on private or informal modes of travel. Officials anticipate that the positive response will lead to additional pink buses on other key routes.
