We will request BMRCL to look into the issue of parked vehicles. We send our team to monitor the space but it should be a joint effort by BMRCL, BMTC and traffic police
Transport Minister N Ramalinga Reddy disclosed that no staff has been hired for BMTC in the last five years. However, BMTC officials stated that they have set a target to match bus services as they introduce many feeders and new routes.
After finishing his routine tutorial classes, instead of waiting for his parents who would pick him up, Parinav had boarded the bus. Frequent commuters and residents had questioned how the driving staff and conductor had not noticed the odd behaviour and reported the matter to relevant authorities.
Subsequently, the police, accompanied by forest department officials, inspected the area and notified the public about expected traffic delays. After an hour or two of examination, vehicular movement was permitted. Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) MN Anucheth mentioned the use of advanced AI predictive analysis to identify traffic congestion in Bengaluru.
Experts BM spoke to said BMTC drivers and conductors are under tremendous work pressure. Not only are the crew expected to complete a certain number of trips in an eight-hour shift, which is difficult in Bengaluru traffic, but there is also a lack of a fair and just working environment at depot level, which puts them under extreme pressure that manifests in their day-to-day conduct.
