Bangalore model of city transport(BMTC) is the best in the country, so think-tanks of city bus service in BBSR should follow this model.Also they should widen the roads accordingly in order to avoid regular traffic jams in the near future.Another vital thing is to educate the commuters about the rules properly.I think these are some of the important aspects for the longevity of the service,otherwise it will be another disaster like what happened a decade ago.

Hopefully the service should run well this time since a private company is in charge. Public transportation is a vital component for any big city. There will a number of impediments to the smooth running of the system.
First of course there is issue of road widening. If I am not mistaken the government was working on this aspect. At least that is what I gathered when I was in the city the last time which was more than a year back. An unfortunate fallout of course of the road widening was that most trees on the side of the road were being cut. Bhubaneswar is a pretty green city and efforts should definitely be made to replace these lost trees.
Then of course there is the auto/taxi lobby that would work overtime to ensure that the bus services do not run successfully. Prior to the bus service these were the only modes of transport for the residents of the city. It goes without saying that these modes of transport were expensive and money spinners for auto/taxi owners. Definitely these owners wouldn’t want to let go off the proverbial golden goose.
Lastly of course there is the issue of bus timings. If timings are maintained then I am sure it will be a great experience for most commuters otherwise only a certain section of the population will stand to benefit. Generally most private operators attempt to make as much money from a single trip and so wait until the bus is full without any regard for the time that is lost for the passengers. This must definitely change. Hopefully the government has looked at this aspect and will enforce some sort of regulation with regard to timings.

its quite refreshing to hear this. Great going bbsr , look to see among other cities. plying govt busses is judt a step forward to achieve everything a city needs. it would be lovely to see guys and gals riding in a bus to college or work rather than zooming in a byk.great work , kuddos
