bus priority lane

Outer Ring Road

Sarjapura

Bangalore

It hasn’t been long since the 12-kmon the(ORR) has started operating.What was meant as an exclusive lane for buses has cars and bikes entering it already.Atandrila Bhattacharya, a resident ofRoad said, “I was travelling between Iblur and Marathahalli when I saw cars using the lane. Bikers were also seen entering the lane.Although the buses were also using the lanes, the vehicles were trying to overtake each other to exit the lane faster.Commuters should be made aware of the purpose of the bus lanes. Many are not aware of the bus priority concept and enter the lane.There is a need to promote it better.”Despite the announcement that theTraffic police will fine violators for entering the lanes, commuters continue to violate it by travelling on the bus lanes.
