Bengaluru's Shantinagara BMTC Airport Lounge In Disrepair Risking Passenger Safety
· India · The Hindu, LiveMint
The air-conditioned Shantinagara airport bus lounge in Bengaluru's Traffic and Transit Management Centre (TTMC) has fallen into neglect, with lights switched off and damp-stained walls and washrooms. Passengers such as Lavanya B.S. and Anil Kumar complained about the lack of basic hygiene and safety, common in women who await the arrival of their buses on the Vayu Vajra BMTC service. Even though it is advertised as a premium waiting space for airport-bound commuters, the lack of hemac-thinking on part of the BMTC and public introduces new safety concerns regarding these basic public transit services. The Winds of change expected in connection to other lounge spaces and infrastructure upgrades are likely to dominate news surrounding this.
Why it matters
Passengers, especially women, face safety concerns and hygiene issues while using this premium BMTC facility in Bengaluru.
