An exclusive transport system meant for women named ‘She Shuttles’ was launched in the IT belt on Monday. The shuttles will run everyday from 8 am to 11 pm.

The service is monitored by the Central Control Room at the Cyberabad police commissionerate and a smart phone app with panic mode has been given to all passengers.

The service is free for all women employees of the Society for Cyberabad Security Council (SCSC). The shuttle is a joint initiative of the SCSC, the police and the government of Telangana.

For now, two non-AC buses will run on a pilot basis through the main roads of the IT corridor. The government has promised to add four more AC buses to cover the entire IT corridor and surrounding areas, where several women’s hostels are located.

The officials from SCSC said that with the smart phone app the passengers can see the location of the bus and track its movement.

Cyberabad Commissioner C.V. Anand expressed deep satisfaction on the speed of execution of the projects undertaken by the SCSC and wished all the best  for future endeavours.
