MSRTC and Private Bus Operators
The bus stand at the Somalwada end of Chhatrapati Square flyover has become a danger to motorists using both the flyover and along side it. The buses stopping at the place not only jam the traffic but many times those coming from flyover veer suddenly to the left to pick up passengers.
Both state-run MSRTC and private bus operators have been using the place as a place to pick up and drop passengers for buses going to Chandrapur, Wardha, Yavatmal, and Hyderabad. Residents and shopkeepers on Wardha Road near Chhatrapati square complained that in recent past, due to negligent attitude of traffic police, the road had become one of the most congested in the city. Very often, the buses block the road completely. People coming from Chhatrapati Square try to squeeze past them and, in the process, come directly in the line of vehicles speeding down from the flyover.
An optical shop owner on Wardha Raod and who frequently witnesses accidents due to the proximity of the bus stop to flyover said, "once a private bus stopped at the flyover and a motorcycle rammed into it from behind. The rider was thrown off the bike. He suffered severe head injuries."
Similar is the situation on other side of the road, where too both MSRTC and private buses halt. Buses are parked haphazardly at this place too affecting free flow of traffic. Such a practice not only hampers the free flow of traffic but also endangers the safety of other motorists. The other end of the flyover (in front of Sai temple) is also a bottleneck, as vendors allegedly encroach on the road.
The traffic cops have done nothing to ease chaos on either side of the flyover. Despite repeated complaints, the cops have not acted, alleged the residents.
