The fast vichle movements, such as car , truck , buses can be shifted across both the river . Thanks.
Good initiative but the seats installed are at very low level. Problem to sit and get up. Authorities should check personally and do the needful before billing.
1. A few more seats should have been there considering the gathering during morning and evening time.
2. Many people tend to take wrong side shortcut instead of the U-turn which is very risky compared earlier since now there is no footpath. This can be dangerous. Should be taken care of. 😊😊
