Bus Stand fiasco


Bus stand fiasco
EARLY morning from 7.30am to 9am and in the afternoons leading to the evening from 3pm to 6.30pm are rush hours at the Suva bus stand.
I would like to request the relevant authorities (LTA/traffic police) to please monitor the bus terminal at the rush hour times.
Not only to ensure that the bus drivers are following the rules but to also ensure the safety of passengers at the bus terminal.
The buses stop in the middle of the stand to let passengers on and off and chat with someone who just walked past the bus.
When the driver does this, the bus driver behind him gets impatient and begins tooting the horn.
This creates a very annoying noise pollution and causes an unnecessary traffic jam.
It is very dangerous for a pedestrian to go to the bus stand especially for unsupervised children.
