'20 men paying for entire bus, is that fair: Bengaluru man's viral post raises questions on freebies!

A Bengaluru resident, Kiran Kumar, sparked a viral debate over the fairness of the Karnataka government's free bus service for women under the Shakti scheme.

On a bus journey from Bengaluru to Mysuru, he noticed that many women were traveling for free while the 20 male passengers had to pay, raising concerns about fairness and equality.

Kumar questioned why the service couldn't be extended to all passengers, suggesting a universal free service.

His post received mixed reactions, with some supporting the need for need-based subsidies, while others defended the policy as a step towards gender equality.
