APSRTC
Harassment by men standing/sitting in the front seats

Sir,

Please help women travel free of harassment.

In the APSRTC city buses, seats have been alloted for senior citizens and PHC citizens in the front of the bus, that is where ladies get into the bus and stand/sit. This is a big problem to us because some men are just sitting in those seats even if they dont fall in those two categories and other men get into the bus and stand around these people hence causing inconvenience to women standing there. In crowded buses, which is usually the situation, these men wantedly touch/do stupid things to women standing nearby and harass them.

Can the reserved seats please be moved to the back part of the bus, so that all gents can go there and leave the front to women?

The conductors also should be more efficient. Instead of shouting at innocent passengers for change or any other reason, they should control men to keep to their place and leave women alone.

We cannot avoid buses as they form the main and sometimes the only transport for women. So, kindly look into this matter and so the needful.

Thanks,

A woman suffering because of the above mentioned problem
