from day i started driving one of the main problem i faced on bangalore roads are placements of bus stops and shelters though these are decided by BMP and by the police i bet even a fifth standard student can pick a better place than these guys, most of the bus stops are placed near signals, narrow roads, or street ends which makes a driving a bad experince.
though many countries has some rules and logic on how to place the bustands based on:
* Number of loading areas (or number of buses that can stop at one time)
* Average Dwell Time (How much time it takes a bus to load/unload passengers)
* G/C ratio of nearby traffic signal (green time / cycle length)
* Clearance Time (time it takes bus to re-enter the traffic stream)
i bet our concerned authorities never do such a thing, it would reduce a fair amount of traffic obstruction if atleast a minimum common sense is used by avoiding bus stops at signals, narrow roads, or street ends.
so have your guys ever felt the same way what do you think can be done to avoid traffic obstruction created by illogical bus stops?

damn with these traffic police only fit to collect fines and grow stomachs
Only solutions is to dump the people in the government offices and to recruit smart, dynamic and well educated guys.
I felt it TODAY, I feel this everyday....HELL, its so irritating!!!!
I have always felt bad when they stop the bus after the crossing, and people have to come back crossing everything, thereby increasing unncessary traffic, why not make them before the crossing?
