Mini
bus services
Sir,
By
stopping plying of Rajpura and Paloura
bound matador vehicles through Exchange
road and allowing only one way traffic,
commuters of the area including college
and school students have been facing
great hardships Transport authorities
under whose orders this facility has been
withdrawn should understand that hardly 5
percent of the population have their own
light vehicles. Majority of them have to
depend on matador service. Those persons
having no conveyance of their own
especially handicapped and old aged
persons have become victims of this
recently introduced system.
The people
of Sarwal have also been facing the
problem of inadequate and irregular
matador service. Hardly 5 or 6 rounds of
matador service are being undertaken
daily which is not sufficient to meet the
requirement of commuters. There are
numberless matadors plying on other
routes like Janipura, Rajpura, Bantalab
which could be diverted and asked to ply
through Sarwal.
The
matador service should be channelised in
such a manner that every locality of the
city remains connected with the service
so that school going children in
particular and public in general be
benefitted with the regular service of
mini buses.
The
commuters are also facing problem of
reaching their destinations in time. It
takes atleast one and half hour by virtue
of irregular matador service resulting in
delay in reaching Bari Brahmana from the
main Ambphalla stand where as it is only
half hour driving distance. This is the
case for several other routes, as a
result the commuters cannot reach their
desired working place in time.
We request
the Transport Authorities to look into
the grievances and take remedial measures
in the interest of general public.
Yours
etc...
V P Sharma and others.
