Ensure checking of private vehicles’ entry, removal of black spots on dedicated road

Though the Metro bus service being run under the Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) has been operational for the last six years and facing various challenges, no government body or authority has ever reviewed the issues being faced during the implementation of the project. Most of the Metro buses face traffic problems almost regularly. According to bus drivers, commuters and traffic experts’ routes need to be reviewed, entry of private vehicles in corridor should be stopped and black spots needed to be fixed.

A total of 92 low-floor air-conditioned buses are being run on the dedicated 31-km corridor, covering key locations of the city and catering to an average of around 37,000 commuters per day.
