Public Transport - Restructuring Steps

1. I see that most of the Hyderabad City buses do not have doors. Is this to allow 'FULL'(EST possible) occupancy and exceed the targets...?


Solution:

Install the doors to all buses and prevent people from falling off from the buses (The infamously called Hanging Humans like in the Actient Seven wonders of the world, Hanging Gardens). AND, the bus should move ONLY WHEN THE DOORS ARE CLOSED.

I have seen this in Bangalore and this has been the recent trend in other metros and all of them are catching up (slowly but surely).

Benefits:
a) The buses can now run normally instead of slantly... which was due to over load of passengers hanging from the doors on the left side of the bus.
b) More the control on the bus and the passengers, lesser are the possibilities of accidents.
c) People on the roads/footpaths would not be hurt our Hanging Humans.
d) Efficient use of fuel
