The KSRTC stated that it reserved 25 per cent of seats for women in its buses conducting short distance and long distance Fast Passenger, Super Fast, Super Express and Super Deluxe services. In its air conditioned buses conducting inter-State services, no seats are reserved for women.

For the regular write up “Streekalkku Munganana” It stated that if women did not occupy the reserved seats at the start of the journey, the places were allotted to men. If any women boarded the bus during the course of the journey, the men were expected to vacate the seats.

 

Now It’s your turn to comment about this rules in KSRTC. What if someone reserve the seats on an inter state Super Fast bus and had to get up when a lady passenger is entering the bus? KSRTC should clearly implement the ladies seat reservation in their online reservation portal or should not allow any kind of reservation for ladies in long distance buses, especially for Super Class services.
