19 Suggestion PVD Database of Actual Vehicle owners mapped with their mobile numbers need to be cleaned up. Simplifying vehicle transfer procedure Fitness for Buses & other public carriers good condition Tyre, Brake etc. Installation of convex mirror/cctv in front of driver may be useful to make viewable the blind spots. In order to avoid competition in buses, the number of buses plying on a route need to be rationalised depending on the demand along that route.
