Bus bays a.k.a. parking lots

Trivandrum: The saying ‘laws are meant to be followed’ have fallen into deaf ears of Trivandrumites. The traffic violations in the city are increasing at an alarming rate and so is the death toll.

            The ‘no parking’ boards have become mere scarecrows. The traffic violators have not spared the bus bays too. Bus bays are frequently ignored by the commuters and bus drivers. The much busier LMS- Palayam stretch is mostly occupied by cars and autorikshaws . Same is the case with SMV school road.

            People are often confused about the boarding point of the buses. Sometimes cases they have to run a long distance to board the bus, says Sunitha, a home maker.

            Violators should be strictly fined by the authorities; that are the only way to tackle this menace, says Soorya, a techie from Kazhakoottam.
