Garbage not cleared
Garbage clearance on Kambar Road, that links the Wavin traffic signal and the Mogappair West bus terminus, is appalling. People gather waste from different residential colonies and dump them into the huge garbage containers that do not have the capacity to cope with the growing waste that is being generated in the wake of new shops and eateries coming up. This is nauseating to the motorists and pedestrians on the stretch, especially the two-wheeler riders, who are forced to bear the stench, especially during rain. The ideal solution would be to either increase the number of containers or to employ more manpower to remove the trash, that is harmful to the community. It is ironic that a well-known private hospital is coming up opposite the garbage site and a popular gym is located nearby, promoting healthcare. Will the authorities please do the needful?

Buses skip stops
Metropolitan Transport Corporation staff have a habit of telling commuters to alight at signals when the bus is waiting for the signal to clear, and the next bus stop is close by. The buses then do not stop at the designated bus stops and speed away, even if commuters are waiting to board them.
This saves time for the staff, but inconveniences everyone else. It happens often to commuters at the Tidel Park signal, when buses take a right turn from Rajiv Gandhi Salai to the Thiruvanmiyur bus stand. There is heavy traffic at this signal and it is difficult to cross and reach our place when we are forced to alight at the signal. Sometimes, we are forced to walk the extra distance. Buses are supposed to halt only at designated stops to enable commuters to alight or board the vehicle. It is not ideal that the staff ask commuters to alight at signals, as there are greater chances of them getting hit by other speeding vehicles.
