The 41D bus service - Avadi to Mandaveli via Korattur has been discontinued under pretext that road is bad @ Pattravakkam enroute. OFCOURSE THE ROAD IS BAD FOR A LENGHT BUT ALL HEAVY TRANSPORTS ARE STILL BEING ROUTED VIA THIS PATCH IN PEAK HOURS (Morng/eveng) and it is not understood how MTC services alone could not ply thro.
Even accepting the inability THE SERVICES COULD HAVE BEEN DIVERTED VIA AMBATTUR EST BUS DEPOT SIGNAL ON MTH ROAD, TAKE LEFT ON THE SIGNAL AND CATCH AGAIN THE SIDCO ROAD BEFORE AAVIN - WHICH IS GOOD/MOTORABLE. If this alternate route is followed people of Pattravakkam also could just walk few meters to reach their place and KORATTUR PASSENGERS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PUT TO THE HARDSHIP.
The diversion suggested-temporary- is on the main MTH road and the distance will not have any increse/decrese.
Nonavailability of 41D service via Pattravakkam & korattur involves lots of hardship.
IT IS NOT UNDERSTOOD WHY AUTHORITIES HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO THINK OF THIS ALTERNATIVE WHICH IS AVAILABLE IN THE INTERESTS OF TRAVELLING PUBLIC
