height of stupidity..

the over bridge in front of tidel park.

Most of us have noticed this over bridge near the tidel park.
the intent of the corporation here , is to avoid pedestrians crossing the road in peak hours.
Yeah hats off to them.. they have solved this issue, but they forgot about the people
getting down from the MRTS Train..

Think about this..

I am getting down from the train in platform which is in the third level,
I take 100 odd steps down to get to the entrance of the station...
[The answer from the officials if questioned "WE have escalators inside the station.."]
then again I need to climb up 50 odd steps and climb down the same odd 50 steps...
oh man..what a way to lose your carbs without any physical trainer...
thanks to Chennai corporation ...

so before i switch on my system...I have lost half of my energy...

so where does the innovation,technology gurus go..are they really blind ..

I get an answer, "oh c'mon man..they are already working on world's greatest projects..u know...
they don't have enough time to fix this small over bridge..."

"oh is it...." I am just surprised by this answer..is it true? I dont know the answer either..

"Why can't we have sky bridge directly from the platform which connects this ..." i ask my friend who is a civil engineer..
[ I had seen this in many down towns in US cities.I am sure there would have been an indian brain behind this So why not implementing here .]

"You mean to say..break all the windows and construct that..yeah better idea..but whos going to do all these...and whats the use.."

"I dont know who is gonna do this...but I am sure its gonna come in near future...If we act now , at the least we can save some INR in energy bills and also some time..in climbing up and down and wasting our energy..."

One side the Corporation encourages people to use public transport in return to the lost energy....
so what do we call this ..."height of stupidity"

a harsh way to say though..
