What is the point of a strong network of public transport across a city – whether it’s buses, autos or metros? To ensure a comfortable, well-connected and safe travel for everyone. As of June 2017, Delhi had 1,612 DTC buses and a number of other private bus services. Of the 32 lakh daily commuters, safety for women on the bus is in question.

Thousands of women take crowded buses to work and college on a daily basis and many have faced harassment on board. Very recently, a student from Kamala Nehru College wrote to The Quint about the infamous 544 route which is a ‘safe haven’ for harassers.
