Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) has sparked a baby trolley service at Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station to help women passengers who are carrying luggage and travelling with children. As reported by ANI, TSRTC Regional Manager Vara Prasad Ranga Reddy stated: "We started a free battery buggy from the main road to the entrance of Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station (MGBS)."
Vara Prasad Ranga Reddy also told ANI that because the bus station is so large, it is difficult for the elderly and women to carry children and luggage to the platform, so TSRTC has started the service.
TSRTC Initiatives Towards Women
TSRTC has started the service due to reachability within the bus station is vast, so difficult for the elderly and women to carry children and luggage to the platform, so TSRTC has started the service. Reddy proceeded on to say that a similar trolley would be established in another bus station as well. RTC is undertaking several initiatives, particularly for women and the elderly, following the managing director's directive.TSRTC Regional manager further added, "We request people to use this facility, and we will also get encouraged to introduce many more initiatives."
Reddy made this decision, as he urged the women to use this service freely as the primary motive of the service is to provide the travelling women journey more combinable, as to carry luggage and children together makes it quite challenging. The convenience of women having small children and infants will be considered, as the trolleys will be later customized or added depending on the current usage.
Passenger feedback towards the Initiative
Monika, travelling from Hyderabad to Suryapet, thanked TSRTC for initiating this initiative and said, "Felt really happy for the initiative, carrying child and luggage is difficult while travelling, now it becomes handy carrying a child in the trolley,". And Vijay Kumar, another passenger, expressed satisfaction with the trolley service, saying.
