After the introduction of pink special buses for women in Turkey has been heavily criticized, light blue buses have now been put in service in Maraş province.

The introduction of special buses is rejected by women because they are banished from public space and sexual assaults are not prevented by this measure.

Despite all the criticism from women, Maraş Municipality began using special buses for women on two lines on Tuesday. As the department of public transport announced, the buses provide service only until 19.00 clock.
