The pink bus service in Bihar will begin in Nalanda district from 1st January. The service will run only for women, and lady drivers will operate all buses. The pink bus service in Bihar aims to provide safe and convenient travel for women, including housewives, students, and working professionals.
Two pink buses will start operating on New Year’s Day. The transport minister will launch the service. This move follows the success of similar pink bus services in districts like Patna, Muzaffarpur, Bhagalpur, Darbhanga, and Purnia.
Officials said the service will gradually expand, with plans to introduce over 110 pink buses in multiple districts. Women drivers are being recruited, and they will receive special training to drive safely and confidently.
