YoloBus launches India’s first women-only intercity service, bookable via AbhiBus – ET TravelWorld

AbhiBus, India’s leading bus ticketing platform, has partnered with YoloBus to facilitate bookings for India’s first women-only intercity bus service. The exclusive service will begin operations on the Gurgaon-Chandigarh route starting 8th March, coinciding with International Women’s Day. The initiative aims to offer a safer, more comfortable travel option for female passengers by providing a female conductor for added support.

The launch of this service comes as part of a broader effort to improve travel experiences for women. With safety and convenience being key priorities, YoloBus intends to provide a secure environment for women on long-distance journeys, ensuring that they feel at ease throughout their travel.

Rohit Sharma, COO of AbhiBus, commented, “At AbhiBus, we are committed to enhancing the travel experience for women. Over the last three months, we’ve seen a 54 per cent year-on-year increase in bookings by female travellers, with solo female travellers up by 50 per cent. The launch of YoloBus’s women-only service aligns with our ongoing efforts to support female passengers, including features like our Pink Seat, which reserves dedicated seats for women on various routes.”

Sanjay Jadoun, CEO of YoloBus, added, “The safety and comfort of women travellers have always been a priority for us. Launching this service on Women’s Day is our way of celebrating and empowering female travellers, offering them a reliable and secure intercity travel option. Through AbhiBus, women can easily book their journeys and enjoy a seamless travel experience. We hope this initiative will set a new standard for intercity travel in India.”
