Should YI(Yelli Idheera) be revived?

 Hi,

I think I was in Bangalore in 2006/07 that time I came across this wonderful service by name “YI” to get the location of Volvo busses. Now, when I am back in Bangaluru, I come to know that the service has been stopped. I used to use the YI regularly and was finding it quit a handy tool. A friend of mine suggested to put on Praja to see what other people think about reviving ‘YI’.

Thanks

Gattu

Yi was a great tool and very much needed. Hoping it on some bus day which lost glory.

YI or not to YI?

Blistering barnacles, Murali posting in pseudonyms these days??? Or was this actually used by people? :) On the other hand I am hearing from inside sources companies are quoting an arm & a leg to BMTC for this LED PIS service. Maybe YI is cheaper option, dont know.

the story is here

@ gattu - the story of what happened to YI, can be accessed here.

@ IDS - a lawyer's notice (defamation case) is headed your way :))).

PS: Chanced upon this post accidentally - had not seen it so far.

A similar SMS based service is announced. Not sure whether it is actually started or not. It currently seem to have limited scope - only for the users of "common bus service" where you will need to reserve a seat for a month.
