Zhengzhou buses test special seat for breast-feeding mothers



A special seat for breast-feeding mothers has been added to a No 906 bus in Zhengzhou, the capital city of Henan province, and more are expected on other buses and routes.

The “breast-feeding seat”, has a curtain mothers can draw around them to breastfeed in privacy.

“We set up this special nursing seat considering the inconvenience and embarrassment mothers may feel when they need to feed babies on a bus. This proposal was put forward by one of our bus drivers,” said Yang Chaoqun, publicity director of the Third Company of Zhengzhou Bus Communication Corporation.
