3,775 DTC buses in the national capital have automated doors.
Union Women and Child Development minister Maneka Gandhi today suggested installation of sensors on the footboard of the buses to prevent women and children meeting accidents while boarding or deboarding the vehicle.
“I have been receiving complaints of women and children being hurt while boarding and deboarding buses…we should have sensors on all buses. It will facilitate safer travel as the bus would not start if somebody is standing on the footboard,” Gandhi said in a series of tweets.
She said she has written to Union Road Transport and Highways minister Nitin Gadkari in this regard after she received a number of complaints of women and children getting hurt while boarding or getting off the buses.
