Rules gone wrong
In Dubai, Getting cabs is quite difficult. Specially during the Iftaar hours.
One such evening, after waiting for around 30 minutes, I decided to use the public transport (Bus) to reach my hotel. It was rush hour and all the seats were occupied.
In the next 5 minutes , I came to know about a novel rule which specifies that the Ladies in the UAE are not allowed to stand in the travelling bus and there are reserved seating spaces for them. Quite Thoughtful !!!!
But If those 6-8 reserved places are full, That means the ladies are not even allowed to board the bus. On the other hand, Men can still enter and stand in the back (There is ample space for that in the bus).
So if you are a woman, you are not allowed to stand in a moving air-conditioned bus. However, It is perfectly ok for you to stand at the bus stop in sizzling humid 45 C !!!
