I still feel difficult to travel in Kathmandu public bus service because of the crowd and different people who travel together. Once I was traveling by bus into the city. The bus was too much crowded that I was not even able to look at the surrounding. Suddenly, someone hold my private part and started squeezing. It was so much embarrassing. I was not able to look at the person and take immediate action. I actually tried to kick but then that was also not working. Thanks to god that it was already the time for leaving the bus. So, I somehow managed to leave, but then I still feel embarrassed about it for not being able to do anything about it.
People take benefit in the crowd that’s the worst thing. Amidst the COVID-19, the buses are still filled and we have the double burden of both COVID-19 infection and harassment.
