Now, ibuses too running over crowded

Journey in ibuses is also  becoming uncomfortable for the passenges as most of them hardly find a seat nowadays and they often end up standing.

AICTSL has not procured more buses as per plans and thereby forced the passengers to travel in these crammed ibuses.

CEO of Atal Indore City transport Service Limited (AICTSL) Sandeep Soni told dna that the ridership of ibuses was 31164 on Monday and the revenue collected was Rs 2,89,000.
However, he regretted for the inconvenience faced by the passengers due to shortage of buses. "We have realised that the ibuses are running over crowded and trying to get more ibuses as soon as possible. We have 16 ibuses and likely to get four more by the month end," said Soni.

"The passengers will get some space to breathe once we get more buses," added Soni.
Meanwhile the installation of automatic signals on BRTS corridor has been completed and the signals are under trial.

Soni said, “A few signals are adjusted manually and few are working on automatic loop on trial basis. In automatic loop, the signal timing is adjusted automatically according to density of traffic."

"Once the trial is completed all signals on BRTS will be shifted on automatic loop," added Soni. Soni further said that the continuous monitoring of operation of ibuses is being done and modifications are being done accordingly. The speed breaker near Industry House left turn seems to be useless and it might be removed.

The left turn near LIG trisection might be widened to facilitate movement of traffic, added Soni.
