It becomes hard to travel in over crowded bus because everyone is standing close to each others and some men’s try to touch female. For women who are pregnant they are traveling alone roads are there most of drivers drives vehicle rashly. There are so much cases of sexual assaults and rape that happens with women, women enters the bus till she left people keep stalking to her. All this things make women feel uncomfortable while traveling. It would be better if there will be a police officer in bus at night times and special seats reserved for pregnant women it would be helpful for women.it depends on city to city how the transport facilities are.Most of the women travel use public transport through bus, train metro, auto rickshaw, women need to face very much difficulties travelling not only women But also girl student travel alone.
