Hi-tech boom barriers won't allow buses to pass out of turn
In an effort to avoid a repeat of January’s Santosh Mane incident, the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) has proposed technologically advanced electronic gates at the Swargate bus depot.
Electronic boom barricades will be installed at the depot to prevent anybody from taking away a bus out of turn. On January 25, Mane had just picked an ST bus at random and went on a crazed drive through the city, resulting in the death of nine people.
