Students of II BA Economics, SCHVPMR Government Degree College, Ganapavaram, conducted a public survey from 15–30 September 2025 to understand the impact of the Stri Shakti free-bus scheme for women, girls, and transgender persons.
Key Findings:
✅ Increased women ridership and reduced travel expenses.
✅ Requests for more buses, rural routes, and safer night travel.
✅ Suggestions for CCTV, digital ticketing, and smart monitoring.
