KTC buses should have symbols to identify service

KTC is providing both local and shuttle service across Goa. The local buses help villagers and other passengers to reach their work place nd home. On other hand shuttle services in cities help people reach in time especially State govt employees, bankers, central govt staff, public sector employees and private company workers too. The shuttle service being non -top helps commuters reach faster and in time. However many passengers in various bus stops in between the routes do not come to know if the bus is shuttle or local bus, hence KTC should have symbol on cabin front windshield glass display of symbol or sign may be in colour to enable passengers to know if it can be stopped or not by waving their hands. The symbol with color showing shuttle service and local bus service will enable to identify the same and avoid such confusions.  Hope the concerned authorities will consider the request as in other states it is bus number which identifies the destination route. In Goa since we have both private operators and KTC state run buses, color display is enough to identify the bus.
