Advertisement on the city buses of Bhubaneshwar should be banned.
Q: I reside in Bhubaneshwar and I always use to travel by bus but it is so difficult to recognise the buses as both the sides of the buses are covered with huge commercial advertisement it creates a huge confusion for all the people of Bhubaneshwar who travels in bus. What the DTS is doing? Will the BMC take any action against the situation?
Yes I too agree with you. The advertisement may be revenue for BMC but they should not hide the information where the bus going etc. This can be done by increasing the size of board for commuters info and medium size ad board under it.
At the monthly BMC council meeting the corporates discussed about the problems faced by the commuters travel in bus. The protest has prompted the BMC to get expalination from DTS ( Dream Team Sahara ) a private body operating the system of the public transport, one of the officials of DTS said that the advertisement appear on the busses only after it has been approved by the government even the designs of the advertisement is also approved by the government.
