Girl students are boarding the women bus service for safe transportation.

The route of the women city bus service, ‘My Wings’ has been extended till Sarojininagar on the demand of the students of the Guru Nanak Girls Degree college, Charbagh.

As many as 32 girl students of the college had contacted the Lucknow City Transport Services, UPSRTC to extend the bus service till Sarojininagar. The women city bus service inaugurated in April had been operating between Charbagh and Engineering College.

But now it plies between Charbagh and Engineering College. “The principal of the college approached us and said that the timings of the bus were suitable for the students,” said MD, LCTS, A Rahman.

Along with 32 girls who board the bus everyday in morning at Sarojininagar, at least 45 girls board it back to home. LCTS had chosen the Charbagh-Engineering college route for the launch of the bus given the high demand.

The bus is available at every two hours from 8am till 8pm. The minimum fare charged is Rs 5 for every 4km.
