Change in operation of city buses catches passengers off-guard

Temporary bus stations have been set up at different places, with publicity made in this regard through a notice board in the bus stand and announcement  over public address system.
The City Police have also installed direction boards at various roads, but several hundreds of passengers, who were unaware of the temporary arrangement, had to spend anxious moments.
The sales girls working in garment shops report for work early in the morning. In their hurry to reach the work place, they wouldn’t have noticed the direction boards. They came to know of the changes only after arriving at the bus stand in the evening.
Amid the surge in traffic density, they hastened towards the bus stand, but had the KSRTC and City Police authorities taken extensive publicity measures, the inconvenience faced by uninformed passengers could have been avoided, said some of the passengers, who were craning their neck, looking for the buses.
