Ever since the free bus travel scheme for women was introduced, Telangana RTC buses have frequently made headlines for unusual and interesting incidents. From seat-related arguments to humorous memes, public transport has become a hot topic on social media. Now, another viral photo has caught everyone's attention.
In most RTC buses, seats reserved for women carry a message that reads, "Respecting women is our tradition." However, a photo currently circulating on social media shows what appears to be a modified sign that says, "Respecting men is our tradition. Let them sit in the seats reserved for them."
The image is being widely shared, with several social media users claiming it was clicked inside a TGSRTC bus operating on the Suryapet route. However, there has been no official confirmation from TGSRTC regarding the authenticity of the photo or the message displayed.
Despite the uncertainty, the image has sparked a wave of humorous reactions online. Many users jokingly commented, "Finally, men are getting some respect," "Maybe we'll get a seat now," and "Hope this board is real!" Others said the sign perfectly reflects the struggles of male passengers during peak travel hours.
Since the launch of the free bus travel scheme for women, RTC buses have witnessed a significant rise in passenger numbers, especially during busy hours. As a result, seat availability has become a common topic of discussion, leading to countless memes, videos, and social media debates.
The viral "Respect Men Too" board has now joined that list of trending discussions. Whether it is an actual notice displayed inside an RTC bus or simply a creatively edited image shared online remains unclear.
