Better times might be in store for us in the near future, but let's change the current situation which is in the hands of the concerned authorities -- Goa's transport system, which desperately needs a push.
The State has around 1900 buses plying, among which 520 is that of KTC. Infact, the frequency of buses in certain rural areas are still very low as compared to well-connected major cities. Moreover, after 7 pm, the frequency of public transport system gets highly questionable.
Sadly the issue is plaguing office goers who encounter overwhelming rush during the peak hours. Probably, there might have been some policies in the past, but unfortunately they are now in cold storage.
In keeping a balance and human approach towards this issue, there seems to be a need of at least more 800 buses.
Evidently, Goa is a tourist destination, and public transport is like a major backbone pertaining to it. Furthermore, Goa is also visited by low budget tourists who prefer public transport over highly equipped sophisticated transportation.
Eventually, taking into consideration the current scenario, the State Government ought to come out with certain stringent measures as far as public transport system is concerned, along with its extension for the evening hours.
