Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation has issued an order to reserve nine seats for women passengers in all its buses.
UPSRTC Chief General Manager (Operation) H S Gaba said, Transport Commissioner K Ravindra Naik in an order issued on March 8 has directed the regional officers that three rows of seats behind the driver's be reserved for women.
It would accommodate nine passengers.
The CGM said that currently a provision is there for one reserved seat, just behind the driver's, for women but it is not implemented properly due to absence of clear guidelines.
Now a message would be written asking the male passengers to vacate the seats for women commuters, he said.
