BMTC info boards appreciated, but accuracy remains an issue for commuters
The Hindu“At around 7.30 p.m., I reached Shivajinagar bus station recently and I was very happy after looking at the digital board there that the bus I was supposed to take would arrive in four minutes. Yet another day in J.P. Nagar, Shaheen Shasa, a regular bus commuter and also a member of Bengaluru Bus Prayanikara Vedike noticed on the digital board at a bus stop that a bus was supposed to arrive in 45 minutes. Over the last few months, digital LED information boards put up by the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation, under the Nirbhaya scheme have sprung up at various bus stops and Traffic Transit Management Centres. “If a passenger sees that the bus will arrive at the bus stop in a few minutes and then the digital board says that there will be a delay in arrival, then they would believe that their plan might not work.” She also added that the boards also have other issues such as their cycle, the language and visibility.
