BEST’s bus stops in front of shops in Mumbai

Topic 59:

There’s been this friction going around in Bombay between numerous shops and BEST. The reason being BEST’s bus stops in front of these shops needs to be looked at. BEST’s bus service is heritage as well as a necessity, on other hand objection by the said shops seems valid.

I would like to suggest this that since BEST’s stop already display various advertisements on stops, it would be better if stops which obstruct the view of shops allow banner/ signboard of the shop which it overshadows. It be made convention to allow the behind shop to display their signboard on display of stops.

Well, if whole signboard of behind’s shop could not be displayed due to some or other reason then at least 80% of display be accorded for display of the said shops. This would remove the obstruction of shops by bringing their identity on display, also would end the controversy.

However, they be for sole display of their own shop and could not be given up for rent/sale. Their taxes be proportional to the signboard on shop or be condoned. Thus, it would be beneficial to both archaic bus system of Bombay as well as convenient for shops.
