Shantinagara Airport Bus Lounge falls into neglect, raises concerns over passenger safety and maintenance
The airport bus lounge at the Shantinagara Traffic and Transit Management Centre in Bengaluru is facing severe criticism due to poor maintenance and safety concerns. Commuters report that the facility is dirty, poorly lit, and lacks functional amenities, leading to dissatisfaction with the premium service.
Why it matters
The neglect of public transit infrastructure highlights gaps in service quality and maintenance accountability for premium transport facilities used by the public.
Flaking paint, damp-stained walls and poorly lit interiors have left the air-conditioned airport bus lounge at the Shantinagara Traffic and Transit Management Centre (TTMC) in a state of neglect, raising concerns about the upkeep of a facility meant to provide airport bus passengers with a comfortable and safe waiting area.
During a visit by The Hindu , the lounge was found with its lights switched off, while the waiting area and washrooms showed visible signs of poor maintenance. Peeling paint, damp patches on the walls and an overall lack of upkeep made the facility appear uninviting despite being designated as a premium waiting space for commuters using BMTC’s Vayu Vajra airport bus services.
