The ladies, who had gone on a long trip last weekend, are now sitting at home warmly. Hence, there are no women to come in buses to Dharmasthala, Shivamogga and Chikkamagaluru Districts. The bus stand, which was filled with passengers last week, is no longer filled with women passengers. Buses are the ones that have to wait for the passengers.
Seeing the situation last week, the authorities had deployed additional KSRTC, Rajahamsa and Volvo to ensure that a similar problem could be seen this week as well. However, the buses are empty as usual in the second weekend, unlike last week.
Officials, however, expect the number of passengers to increase on Sunday evening.
Last week, some route buses were overcrowded with women passengers and also women were seen getting in through window to get a seat in the bus.
