Response
The response of the Indian public to the Red Ribbon Express has fluctuated since its inception.
In November 2008, The Indian Express reported the response to the Red Ribbon Express’ two day visit to the district of Chandigarh as “overwhelming”. The turnout in Chandigarh was over 10,000 people, the highest of any metropolitan area as of November 2008, with over 1,000 visitors receiving guidance from the counsellors on board.
Bombay News.Net also reported an “overwhelming” response in the district of Guntur in 2008.
However, according to NDTV, as of December 2, 2009 the Red Ribbon Express had not generated as much response as expected. To increase the public participation in the Red Ribbon Express campaign, the Indian government began offering medical services at stations.

Famous quotes containing the word response:
“Perhaps nothing in all my business has helped me more than faith in my fellow man. From the very first I felt confident that I could trust the great, friendly public. So I told it quite simply what I thought, what I felt, what I was trying to do. And the response was quick, sure, and immediate.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
“Play for young children is not recreation activity,... It is not leisure-time activity nor escape activity.... Play is thinking time for young children. It is language time. Problem-solving time. It is memory time, planning time, investigating time. It is organization-of-ideas time, when the young child uses his mind and body and his social skills and all his powers in response to the stimuli he has met.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“The reason can give nothing at all Like the response to desire.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
