oh, this is a good initiative in regard to providing more comfort to the users. but, i am not sure how much this will work. There were instances where some other modern bus shelters were established in the city. But now these are in a neglected condition. Moreover, there are also other complaints that some of these hi-tech bus waiting shelters are set in improper locations where there are no bus stops. This is the case in the High Court area. They are planning to set up a shelter there, but there is actually no bus stop there.

hey, these bus waiting shelters will be placed very strategically especially where it is most needed. These are very spacious waiting shelters and they create only less interference from pedestrian traffic. unlike the previous modern bus shelters, these shelters will also be maintained very properly. They will also be protected against vandalisms of all sorts.

i think the project totally includes up to 34 this kind of ultra modern bus shelters across the city. I also heard that the total cost of constructing one unit was estimated at 8 lakh rupees. Some of these will also have extra facilities like ATM counters, mobile phone recharging, as well as newspaper kiosk.

oh..that's a cool plan. you can sit and wait for your bus in a place with all kinds of ultra modern facilities! The bus shelters are designed in a way that they will provide facilities like drinking water, FM Radio, newspaper stand, wi-fi as well as security camera. This bus stand project will be completed with Public-Private partnership.
