'Bus stop stolen': Bus stand worth Rs 10 lakh goes missing in Bengaluru
www.indiatoday.in
A bus shelter, along with its steel structure, worth Rs 10 lakh was stolen a week after it was installed in Bengaluru.
The bus shelter was situated on Cunningham Road and was managed by the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC).
The police registered a theft case after N Ravi Reddy, an associate vice-president of a company responsible for construction of BMTC bus shelters in Bengaluru filed a complaint on September 30, a month after the bus shelter vanished.

Earlier in March, a three-decade-old bus stand at the HRBR Layout disappeared overnight. The bus stand at Kalyan Nagar was donated by the Lions Club in 1990, a media report said quoting residents of the area. It was removed overnight to make way for a commercial establishment.

Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) officials said if the bus shelter had been removed, it was done by Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).
These incidents of disappearing bus stops are not isolated occurrences in Bengaluru.
In 2015, Doopanahalli bus stop near Horizon School disappeared overnight. Earlier in 2014, a 20-year-old bus stop went missing in BEML Layout III Stage, Rajarajeshwarinagar.
