“When work on the shelter commenced, we assumed that Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) would start to operate buses on the road. The bus shelter has, consequently, turned into a hub for street vendors and a resting place.Regular bus commuters said that, buses do not ply on the road in question and that they had to board them at Ashoka Circle. The bus shelter has become a home for stray animals,” said Lakshmi Urs, a resident of Krishnamurthypuram.Lakshmi added that a dedicated zone for food vendors close to the shelter had not been inaugurated by the MCC. They pointed out that, although passengers have often stood at the shelter hoping to board buses, they have been left sorely disappointed.Velayudhan, a street vendor, alleged that MCC was using the bus shelter to increase its revenue by displaying advertisements. The only use is that it helps MCC earn money by displaying advertisements,” he told TOI.Residents of areas surrounding New Kantharaj Urs Road said that the construction of the shelter began around two years ago.
