Reserved seats in public buses
There are nine seats reserved for women, children and physically challenged persons in each public bus. In counter-based buses more or less this rule is maintained, but the problem occurs in local buses by which mostly poor people commute. Often men ignore this rule by not letting women to sit in those seats, even though it is written above those seats in the bus. Sometimes older women, women with little child, and physically challenged people have to stand in the crowded bus because the seats are already occupied by other women. I think older women and children should get priority to sit on the reserved seats. I have never seen any young woman leaving her seat for any physically challenged person or kid.
