From January 26, women commuters feel secure and comfort as She Taxis will become operational in the Hyderabad and Cyberabad areas.
A range of issues related to safety of women has been taken up the Committee on safety and security of women and girls in Telangana State and She Taxis, one of the recommendations of the committee.
Considering the increasing unpleasant incident of crime against women travelling by auto-rickshaws without proper licences and in the wake of Uber cab incident in Delhi, the committee members led by senior official Poonam Malakondaiah insisted on precautionary measures so that such incidents would not happen here.
Independent feedback will be taken from the commuters on “separators” in RTC buses which was recommended by the committee. Out of 2,600 RTC buses in city, separate enclosures were provided for women in 500 buses.
