The Chairman of Social research and development organization Doctor Abdul Qadir Billu has decided for the separate transport for women.
The purpose of this bus is to secure the women. They feel insecure in public buses, while travelling with men. There is very short place for the women to sit in public buses. Sometimes conductors of the buses, men and boys sit in the portion of ladies due to the lack of space in the bus. This is not good for women and they feel insecure, sometimes women are teased by the men and conductors in Public buses.
