Safe, Affordable Public Transit for Female Students in Saharsa

BSRTC’s pink bus initiative targets not only working women but also school‑age girls who need a trustworthy ride to and from classrooms. The buses travel through high‑traffic corridors such as Saharsa‑Navhutta‑Muradpur and include safety upgrades like GPS tracking, a panic button and an all‑female conductorship. Parents and teachers in Saharsa have expressed relief, noting that the service eliminates the fear of unsafe travel for young females while keeping fares low. The program is seen as a step forward in promoting education and empowerment.
