The boarding point behind the water tank in Kolhapur to Bengaluru is extremely unsafe for women. The road is completely dark, with no streetlights and several men standing around. Despite requesting the driver to stop on the main road, he insisted I come to the parking area. I had to seek help from fellow travellers to walk with me through the dark road. Please prioritise women’s safety and ensure buses stop at a well-lit, safe, and accessible boarding point. Women should not have to risk their safety just to board a bus.
