Shantinagara Airport Bus Lounge falls into neglect, raises concerns over passenger safety and maintenance
During a visit by The Hindu, the lounge was found with its lights switched off, while the waiting area and washrooms showed visible signs of poor maintenance
The air-conditioned bus lounge at Shantinagara Traffic and Transit Management Centre (TTMC) has fallen into disrepair, prompting worries about passenger safety and upkeep. During a visit, The Hindu discovered the lounge with its lights off, peeling paint, damp walls, and a lack of maintenance. Commuters expressed disappointment with the facility's condition, stating it felt unsafe and uninviting.
Anil Kumar, traveling to Delhi, found the toilet locked and the lounge in poor condition, forcing him to leave without using the bathroom. BMTC officials acknowledged the Shantinagara lounge's poor state but clarified it was due to inadequate maintenance by the Shantinagara TTMC manager, not a lack of BMTC's overall maintenance standards.
