As bus priority lanes on the Outer Ring Road constrict space for other vehicles, concerns have been raised about traffic jams as companies are calling back their employees post-Covid.
At a meeting held by the Outer Ring Road Companies Association (ORRCA) to thank the BBMP for improving conditions of the arterial roads and fixing streetlights, many raised questions about the need to continue bus priority lanes currently in a state of neglect.
Since no solutions could be found immediately at the meeting, a separate meeting has been called between agencies like the Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT) and Bangalore Traffic Police (BTP) with ORRCA representatives.
