Three Bus Shelters at Same Place: Is This Poor Planning Under Mangalore Smart City Project?

Three Bus Shelters at Same Place: Is This Poor Planning Under Mangalore Smart City Project?

November 9: MSCL has sanctioned 20 smart bus shelters including three with e-toilets, under Mangalore Smart City Limited at various locations in the city. The one at Panambur was constructed at a cost of Rs 12 lakh. It is seen that one of the smart bus shelters under smart city project has come up at Panambur where two bus shelters already exist.

One bus shelter was constructed by the National Highways Authority  of India (NHAI) and another by the New Mangalore Port Trust (NMPT) and now a new smart bus shelter has been constructed by the MSCL.
As Soon as the construction of work was completed, the picture of three bus shelters in a row started flooding social media.
Mohammed Nazeer, managing director of MSCL, the space for a bus shelter was identified by the NHAI based on request. After looking into the issue, a decision to remove bus shelters built by NHAI and NMPT will be taken.
