Inter-State Buses Add To Traffic Misery In City
Nagpur: Even as the debate over the role of private buses in creating traffic congestion continues, a new dimension has been added with inter-state buses now under the scanner. According to local transport operators and traffic officials, buses arriving from other states are causing more chaos on city roads as they lack designated parking spaces and halt for extended periods to pick up passengers. Sources said that a large number of buses from Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Gujarat enter the city daily. Unlike Nagpur-based long-distance or inter-city buses, which usually pick up passengers and leave within a short time, these outside operators tend to stay parked on busy roads for hours. "Many of these buses accomodate passengers beyond their seating capacity and wait on the streets for longer hours until they secure extra passengers. This adds to the already heavy traffic burden," said one local operator. The problem is severe on Central Avenue, one of Nagpur's busiest roads. Already congested during peak hours, the stretch regularly sees long queues of inter-state buses parked in tandem, blocking large portions of the road and leaving little space for regular commuters. Interestingly, during police action on Wednesday, the major focus was on Central Avenue where the highest number of actions were taken. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Many Malaysians don't know about this! iOS Credit Read More Undo "Hyderabad-based buses are comparatively prompt as they pick up and depart quickly. But vehicles from other states are the ones that halt for longer durations," the operator added. Apart from Central Avenue, the buses also use pick-up and drop-off points at Bole Petrol Pump, Ravi Nagar, and Chhatrapati Square. All three locations are critical junctions, and frequent halts by heavy vehicles further compound the traffic jams. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
