Lack of bus shelters puts passengers in fix

Patny: With lack of bus shelters at the Patny bus stands near the newly constructed Metro Rail Station, the commuters waiting for the TSRTC buses are at the mercy of the motorists, who drive past by occupying the entire road space.

Commuters travelling from one place to another have to get drenched in the rains or face the scorching heat while waiting for the bus. It is the major junction for buses coming from Secunderabad and Panjagutta it gives a tough time to the commuters.

Speaking to The Hans India here on Monday, K Teju, a local, said "A lot of bus shelters were demolished to construct footpaths and they were not rebuilt. When it comes to passengers waiting for buses, they have to remain standing in all the seasons without any proper shelter."

T Anand, a pedestrian, said "This place of the roadside has heavy traffic and continues to be a crowded point with vehicles and people. Proper shelters should be provided for everyone."
