Digital punching centres for buses

KOCHI: Some of the private bus operators continue to resort to racing on the road despite stringent police action.

This is bringing all the private bus operators to disrepute, said Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, Minister for Home, here on Saturday.

The Minister was inaugurating the Digital Bus Time Punching Centre, the first of its kind at A.J. Hall, Kaloor, on Saturday.

Digital Bus Time Punching System is being introduced to control rash driving and accidents by private buses in the city. The seven punching cabins are being installed in different parts of the city during the fist phase.

The punching cabins are at Ravipuram, Menaka Junction, A.R. Camp, Ernakulam, Kaloor private bus-stand, Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Kaloor, Kalamassery Apollo Tyres Junction and Thripunithura private bus-stand.

Manoj Abraham, City Police Commissioner, his Deputy T. Vikram and K. Babu and K. V. Thomas, MLAs, were among those who participated in the function.
