Mumbai: Dedicated bus lanes at Worli, BKC closed
|
7.8.2018 |
DNA: Top News |
| The dedicated lanes for BEST buses aimed at providing fast and efficient public transport have once again failed and shut down for good. The BEST has shut both its dedicated bus lanes — one at BKC and the other at Haji Ali-NSCI-Worli route. BEST officials confirmed that they are not operating the dedicated bus lanes due to several issues. Some BEST officials said that the growth in number of vehicles on the roads made it impossible for them to implement dedicated lanes for BEST buses. Currently, there are 32 lakh vehicles registered in Mumbai, which is leading to congestion on roads.
The Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) where the dedicated lane was operational between Kalanagar and MTNL junction, Kurla has been closed due to damaged drainage next to the road. "The drainage system is damaged and some work is underway. Also, the road is occupied by other vehicles, especially auto rickshaws," said a BEST official. The aim of starting dedicated BEST bus lanes was to ensure smooth flow of public transportation in ... |

Why free parking is (a) right
|
6.8.2018 |
DNA: Wide Angle |
| Parking vehicles seems to be the most debated topic in Ahmedabad nowadays. It is being argued that free parking by Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) means ordinary citizens paying for services given to car owners, which is unfair. It may be free for AMC, but the user has actually paid for it.
Most residents buy cars and two-wheelers, as the civic body has failed to provide a reliable, affordable and accessible (it should be comfortable as well, but let's not be so optimistic) public transport. Ahmedabad Municipal Transport Service (AMTS), once a reputed name (for its service) even nationally, is in a pathetic condition, quality-wise and quantity-wise. The much-hyped Bus Rapid Transport System (BRTS) is route specific and not accessible to all as last mile connectivity is not provided. Feeder buses, that found a mention in the original plan of BRTS, are nowhere to be seen. Citizens, who want honour commitments, will not risk using public transport in its current form. So, buying private vehicles is a ... |
