To begin the effort, the government repaired three buses already on hand, and it has promised to expand it by purchasing more buses by March 2023.
On 4 major routes, the Pink Bus Service will run twice a day. The hours of operation are 6:00 am to 9:00 am and 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm.
The project intends to increase access and lessen the financial strain on the female population.
