Summary:
The civic body will find a proper solution to the sorry state of air-conditioned bus shelters in the city," a senior official with civic body said. The air-conditioners were either damaged or stolen, and the transparent bus shelters turned hot ovens during summer. "Already several bus shelters were provided with better lighting and seats as there is good revenue from advertisement rights. "Seating facility was not provided in the bus shelters due to which people had to stand outside," S R Kishorekumar, a lawyer, said. Terming poor cooperation from the public as the reason for the failure of the air-conditioned bus shelters, Trichy Corporation said that a majority of the total 181 bus shelters in Trichy will be upgraded under the Smart City mission..
