Mythili, beautician:

Autorickshaws are a menace in the city and rash driving by youth gives a nightmarish experience while driving from RTC Bus Station to Brundavan Gardens.

Over 60 per cent of the youth take to streets on two-wheelers without a licence for which parents are to blame. Absence of traffic signals or police personnel at important junctions during peak hours leads to chaos.

Helmet might be inconvenient for girls/women but is essential. It is a wrong notion that sweating due to helmet would lead to hair fall or result in skin problems. City buses stop at the middle of the road leaving little scope for other vehicles to move.
