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.
