Air Conditioned Bus Stop
August 25, 2014
Hi folks, it was a fantastic idea I got from a small temple town of Tamil Nadu called kumbakonam,. This town’s all bus stands are air conditioned. And the municipal corporation pays zero amount for its maintenance!
Getting curious. For three consecutive days I visited various bus stands at various timings and found the temperature at 22 degree C, while outside temperature was at 32, which means the A/C was working.
People use this bus shelter to protect them from rain and sun.
How they did it? They tied up with city union bank and gave them ATM space in the bus shelter and there are three entrances to the bus stand. One to get into the ATM and get out after doing your banking work, mainly withdrawing money, while the other two doors; one for getting into bus shelter and other for entering Into the bus itself. Surprisingly the bus driver stops exactly at the exit door. Amazing.
Something to learn for other civic bodies across country.
