Chief minister NaveenPatnaik on Monday launched an all-woman city bus service, nearly four months after introducing a similar transport service for women betweenBhubaneswar and Cuttack on the occasion of International Women's day on March 8.
Four dedicated JNNURM city buses for women would ply on airport-Nandankanan and KIIT-Balakati routes in peak hours daily. "The buses would transport only women from 8.30 am to 11 am and 4.30 pm to 7 pm on those routes. In other times, male passengers can also board the buses," said Sudhansu Jena, chief executive officer of Dream Team Sahara (DTS), operator of the city bus service.
