Three bus stops at one spot at Chicalim junction

It is understood that plans are afoot to relocate the Martyr’s memorial situated at the Chicalim junction along the road leading to Vasco in order to enable this road to be widened.

This is a step in the right direction. However, it is seen that while there is need of at least one bus-stop at other places, there are as many as three bus-stops in close proximity to one another along the footpath at the junction. The three bus-stops occupy a lot of space. The question to be asked is whether three bus-stops are essential at a single spot? There are not many commuters waiting at these bus-stops and only one bus-stop would have served the purpose. It would be in the fitness of things to also relocate two of the bus-stops to another site, which will leave more open 
space for pedestrians 
to use the pavement.
