On record
A new private bus stand built to replace the old, congested Madikeri private bus stand found few takers because garbage dumped throughout the facility deterred both bus operators and passengers from using it, leaving the modern structure underutilized despite being newly constructed.
The official record states: "Local reporting attributed the lack of use directly to civic neglect (accumulated garbage at the new site) rather than any design or demand problem."
“A new bus stand rejected by buses and passengers alike, on account of the garbage it opened with.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“A brand new bus stand that opened full of garbage, and both the operators and the passengers declined it.”
“Walked in off Race Course Road and walked straight out again, as everyone in Madikeri has learned to do.”
“The old congested stand is still in use because it is merely congested rather than a dump.”
