The private transport association has called for a ‘Bengaluru bandh’ (strike) on September 11, against the Karnataka government’s Shakti programme which allows women to travel for free on non-premium government buses.
In June 2023, the Siddaramaiah-led Karnataka government launched the Shakti Programme to provide free rides for women on non-premium government buses in the state.
Organised by the Federation of Karnataka State Private Transport Associations representing over 32,000 private carriers, the protest is expected to have a substantial effect on the city’s transportation infrastructure.
