October 19th, 2007: Mumbai traffic cops will soon convene a meeting of top school administrators to showcase a model school bus service. A brainchild of activist Indrani Malkani, the service has reduced traffic outside Cathedral & John Connon School in Fort to a large extent.
The use of the school bus service by 94 per cent students of the school has taken 716 cars off the school’s street during peak traffic hours. Buses, 52 in all, converge on the three roads where the junior, middle and senior sections of the school are situated. “We would like all schools to adopt this model for reducing traffic and vehicular pollution considerably,” said S S Solunke, DCP (Traffic), South.
