West Bengal Mandates Licenses for Bus and Minibus Conductors

West Bengal Mandates Licenses for Bus and Minibus Conductors

The government in West Bengal is making bus conductors get official licenses.

This is because conductors play a big role in helping passengers, and sometimes there have been problems with how they act.

To get a license, conductors need to be at least 18 and have finished at least fourth grade.

They'll also have to prove who they are.

The goal is to keep track of who these conductors are and make sure everyone is following the rules.

If a driver is also a conductor, they don't need a special license for that.

If conductors don't give the necessary documents, they could lose their license.
