The bus was hired by ladies for picnic.
or
The bus was hired by ladies for their picnic.
- In the given sentence, the 'bus' is the subject whereas there are two objects- 'ladies' and 'picnic'.
- The words 'its' and 'their' are possessive personal pronouns, i.e. they show possession. They also act as possessive adjectives.
- 'Their' is used only for persons while 'its' is used for animals, places or things.
- In this case, the picnic is for the ladies and so we can either write 'their' or simply omit the word.
