MTC closes the door to reckless footboard travel
The New Indian Express
|May 13, 2024
To prevent school and college students from travelling on the footboard, the Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) has installed automatic doors on over 900 buses across the city.
Additionally, glass panels have been installed on windows near the entry and exit stairs of buses, thereby restricting access to the rods that footboard travellers use for hanging.
The retrofitting works on both deluxe and ordinary service buses, which commenced in February this year, ended recently. The mechanical doors were specifically fitted on 'J' series buses that are in comparatively good condition. However, the automatic doors have not been extended to the 'I' series buses, which are older and worn out. Deluxe buses were already provided with doors.
