Considering the key role efficient auto rickshaw services play in reducing traffic congestion, M A Saleem, the Special Commissioner (Traffic) for Bengaluru said the Bengaluru Traffic Police (BTP) is now focusing on reviving pre-paid auto stands in the city which were shut down due to Covid 19.
“Out of the 16 old pre-paid stands, we have already revived three — MG Road, Kempegowda Bus Stand and Sampige Road. Additionally, the BMRCL is also planning to create six new auto stands,” he said. The auto stands will come up in places like commercial areas, bus stands and hospitals where people use autorickshaw services the most, Mr. Saleem added.
