good to see this taking off! all the best!

some issues with the kannada flyer..

1)sanchara is spelt as sachara ..the 'o' is missing (sorry my SCIM is not working for some reason and hence not typing in kannada!)

2)why have you said bmtc kaarkhane bus? as in why the 'khaarkhane' ?

3) if u have said "kelsa"..(meaning work)..then angadi also might get covered? many ppl work in angadis..not all ppl own angadis. swhy dont u say "office/angadi/school etc?

4)the next line should be "nimma bandhu..balaga.." not namma..

5)that deerghakaala and all makes it a little too formal

are you guys planning to have a press conf to announce this? you should.so that it gets carried in kannada and english press. speak to ricky kej also ..the kannada music director..he may make a jingle for this

some issues with the kannada bit -

1)sanchaara is spelt wrong

2)why "kelsa/angadi"..say office/angadi etc

3)didnt understand why u say "khaarkhaan" buses

4)deerghakaala sounds too formal..use another word..more colloquial

5)last line in balck should be "nimma bandhu balaga..." not "namma bandhu balaga.."

Vinay,

Your initial comment did not appear instantly due to the new moderation we have active to fight spam. Sorry about that. New users' comments are approved initially. Now on you should be able to post instantly. 

Your feedback about typos and the tone of the Kannada flyer are valid. I have made a revised version which hopefully is less formal and more appealing. See if you all like it.

Here is the doc version. (Made on Openoffice, so might have a formatting problem with Word).

Hope this helps.

PS: If you are using Ubuntu, use iBus instead of SCIM. (System->Admin->Language). I faced problems with SCIM 9.04 onwards.

When Auto rickshaws or other services go off road,BMTC brings some extra buses on the roads(500-600 buses) which are otherwise kept as spare in the bus depots. Why dont we request them to induct some more buses that day also.

Also one more thing that might attract is that people can be stress free in buses. some drawing like a person listening to a FM in bus or sleeping in bus peacefully irrespective of traffic will also enable attracting people.We can also make some points by cut your walk by 1/2 an hour on 4th morning and use it for walking to bus stand that day.

Publicity can be done via print media or we can add it as a news in local news channel like news9 or something. FM is also a good media for the same as major bangaloreans are eared into the same in cars. Also we can print routes of frequent bus routes plying in the city along with their routes. This will also enable people to travel in buses. Everyone of us living aroudn Bangalore can make a contribution of the same and can be edited and printed in pamhlet form and distributed(If the same is possible)
