Two years on, undertaking yet to implement plan to create painted areas in front of bus stops where drivers can halt to allow passengers ease of access; drivers continue to halt arbitrarily in the middle of the road or ahead of the stop
One of the common complaints of commuters standing at bus stops is lack of adequate space. Though the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) had identified the problem and thought of a solution, the administration no longer seems interested in implementing it.
The BEST officials along with officials from the traffic police department had plans to paint a yellow box in front of bus stops, a visual indicator for BEST drivers to halt their buses on the coloured spot. Two years on and the proposal has not moved an inch forward, apart from dry runs done by the authorities.
