The Centre has asked state governments to start exclusive buses for women in million-plus cities as part of initiatives being taken to tackle the rise of sexual crimes against women. The measure was suggested at a meeting of the committee of secretaries headed by the cabinet secretary on January 23.

The Union urban development ministry issued a circular on Thursday asking states to provide detailed action plan in this regard within a month. The advisory said it was not essential that the buses be of standard size and added that local agencies could consider the option of having smaller buses depending upon the requirement of a route.

The committee of secretaries had held a review meeting in the light of Nirbhaya's gang rape in the national capital and suggested a series of measures to improve security of women in public transport.

While Delhi revived its women special buses in November, similar services were started in Kanpur. The North-Western Karnataka Road Transport Corporation has also announced bus services for women and families between Hubli-Dharwad and Belgaum.
