Why don’t police shift bus shelters away from junctions?

Firstly, installation or removal bus shelters does not come under the perview of traffic police. Unfortunately, each of the bus shelter is a revenue spinner through advertisements for the agency which installs these. But we have taken initiatives to shift this bus shelters without much success. Where as there is complete consensus among citizens as to where bus shelters should not be; there is no consensus as to where it should be installed, as no residents, no shop-keeper, no establishments wants it in front of their establishment or residence. Hence, there is complete consensus about the problem but none about solution. Moreover, Bengaluru has a peculiarity of having junctions so close that many times it is difficult to find locations for shelters which would be away from junctions on both the sides. We are focusing on not to let them commit mistake in future. However, correcting the historical legacy appears difficult at the moment. But buses stops even where there is no bus shelter i.e. beginning of all the flyovers because people stand and wait there. So it is not an issue of shelters, bus drivers but much beyond that i.e. citizens.
