No brakes on corridor chaos

Pedestrians Flout Rules, Snarl-Ups Continue Even after a Blueline bus rammed into a railing near Pushpa Bhawan in the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor while trying to save a man running in the dedicated bus lane, scores of pedestrians continued to run before buses and cross the road at will in other parts of the 5-km stretch. A good 10 days after trial runs began on the corridor, road users displayed no sense of discipline as pedestrians and private vehicle drivers alike flouted rules putting themselves and others around at the risk of accidents.
