Rachakonda Police Commissionerate launches She Shuttle

Hyderabad: Following the success of the Cyberabad model, where more than 32,000 users utilize the shuttle services in any given month, the Rachakonda Police Commissionerate also introduced She Shuttle services on Wednesday to cater to women passengers of the IT Sector to encourage safe mobility and for the last mile connectivity within the commissionerate limits.

.A unique initiative and one of its kind in the country, this smart transport system operates in loops using GPS and mobile technology and managed through a real time app on smart phones of users. Tracking of the proximity of the shuttle is monitored by logging into the app and helps the user to decide when to wrap up her office work and reach the bus stop at the last minute to catch the shuttle thereby saving precious minutes of work time.

In Cyberabad, during lean hours and after 9 pm, minimum number of passengers sometimes even below 10 users per shuttle utilize the shuttle. But keeping the "objective of safety and security" the shuttles still ferry to cater to those few users, from a non-commercial point of view.

There is a capacity constraint during the peak times as the shuttle frequency cannot be increased due to the pre determined schedule and only one shuttle in any given route. SCSC proposes to continue with the same objectives in Rachakonda as well empowering women in the IT Corridor.
