The ‘magic box’ technology to create underpasses has been adopted in Malaysia. It is cost-effective, apart from being quick to implement. Each ‘magic box’ can withstand 70 tonnes of weight, corporation authorities said.
While these boxes are being put in place, the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) has proposed the introduction of 40 Volvo buses to operate every three to five minutes on the route between the airport and the city. BMTC MD Upendra Tripathi has asked for a dedicated bus lane on NH-7 to enable buses to ply smoothly. Senior government officials have suggested introduction of all types of buses in more numbers at the task force meeting, sources said.
