Pasumai Thayagam seeks more buses 

Staff Reporter - The Hindu, Tuesday, Jun 06, 2006 

Wants a bus rapid transit system for the city 

Chennai : Pasumai Thayagam, a voluntary organisation,
launched a campaign on Monday, World Environment Day,
to urge the State Government to conceive solutions to
traffic and transportation problems in the city. 

It has drafted an appeal to Chief Minister M.
Karunanidhi to increase the number of Metropolitan
Transport Corporation buses from 2,773 to 5,000 and
put in place a bus rapid transit system. 

Pedestrian footpaths, free of encroachments, and
safety for cyclists are also required for "sustainable
transport" systems, it said. 

Thousands of `appeal forms' have been printed and will
be circulated to residents of every ward in the city,
said Pasumai Thayagam State secretary R. Arul. 

The signed copies will be despatched to the Chief
Minister. A. K. Moorthy, MP, was among the first to
sign the appeal. He also distributed copies to the
public.
