I think the pictures tell the story. So I will just write 'its a shame.....'

This is the Bust Stop at Ghatkopar Pipeline (next to BMC Water Division office). Despite my complaint 6 months back, nothing has been done about this.

1. It's become free publicity zone for most of the politicians. Sometime the hoardings are so big that they cover the entie busstop. (See Img.05228)
2. The footpath was raised to install a new bus stop I think 3 years back.(See Img.0179). Still there is no signs of the new bus-stop. I have been a daily commuter on this route since last 5 years now. In fact the less important lane opposite 9 Andhrei link road) have new stops.
3. The buses are parked good 2 meters away (See Img.5232.) from the stop...so people stand on the road and not the raised platform. In a way creating a traffic jam on the road.
4. rain or no rain, there is always puddle of water near it (See Img.5232). Buses come and splash water. in rainy season it becomes very difficult to board the buses.
5. The backside of the old ruined bus-stop has become a dumping ground and sleeping area for beggars constantly stinking.(See Img.0180-83)

Sub.: Frequency of Bus No. 305 & State of the Ghatkopar Pipeline Bus-Stop

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have been regular traveler by Bus No. 305, running from Ghatkopar to Tardeo. There are two issues that I would like to draw your attention to.

First of all let me tell you that the frequency of the bus is very poor compared to the other buses. Buses are canceled at will and are re-routed to other areas. I along with some other commuters are suffering quite a lot because of this. Since there is only one bus going to Dadar (West) area, we don’t have any other choice left. We would request you to either start another bus which goes through that route or at least till Worli Naka or improve the frequency of the Bus No. 305.

Secondly, the stop where we catch the bus from i.e. Ghatkopar Pipeline Stop (adjacent to water division office) on Agra Road is really in a shameful state. You can see the attached pictures to give you some idea. I don’t think I should be writing anything on it since the photos are telling the true story. How can such a major bust stop be in such a horrible state? With dug pavement and a public urinal beside, it has become a stinking dump yard. Where most of the bus-stops have been replaced by new one, this one has been completely ignored. Also a lot of political pretty are using this remaining old stop as their publicity medium.

If the frequency of 305 was a grave issue, this one is even worse. I hope you would be doing something about it immediately or else I won’t have any other option but to turn to Media and publish these photographs in them.


Thanks.
