NFIM raises concern over lack of sufficient “Free For women” bus routes in Coimbatore

In a recent conference, the National Federation of Indian Women (NFIM) in Coimbatore raised concerns regarding the lack of sufficient bus routes that are free for women.

The NFIM claimed that routes 70 and 1-A, which connect Maruthaamalai foothills to Gandhipuram, along with essential tracks 1, 1-0, 1-8, 92, 512, 4N, 120, and 120-A, were omitted from the free women’s bus service.

“Additionally, route number 35, connecting Karadimadai to Gandhipuram, is also non-operational. We request the authorities to reinstate these vital bus routes and these services for the convenience and safety of the female commuters,” the Federation stated in a press release.
