Meet Dolly Rana, a 58-year-old woman from Howrah, West Bengal, who defied age, gender norms, and financial struggles to become a bus conductor - not for money, but to honor her late father’s dream. When debt threatened to drown her household after buying a bus in his memory, Dolly didn’t sell it. She chose to run it.
Wearing a saree, she navigated crowded streets, stood tall on the footboard, and faced stares from a male-dominated industry - without flinching. Even when electric rickshaws and low income made survival tough, Dolly didn’t give up. All she needed? A new route permit.
And then - one viral video and one call from the transport secretary later - she got it.
Now on a better route, Dolly continues her journey with dignity and courage. She's not just a conductor. She's a trailblazer in six yards, quietly proving that age and gender can’t limit resilience.
