Ask Me service - Query on BMTC routes

ss87 - 11-OCT-2010

Based on major discussions in praja we have seen that the main issue in switching over to public transport is not knowing the routes of the buses as majority board are in Kannada only. Hence I just thought of starting this blog where any query regarding BMTC routes would be answered.

Chennai's elevated BRT system

silkboard - 4-OCT-2010

While Bangalore planners are still toying with BRT concept, Chennai seems to have an elevated corridor identified for BRT (Bus Rapid Transport System). Wonder if we have some Chennai geeks here who can enlighten how the corridor was identified, and history of the BRT idea in Chennai in general.

Lobby for BRT in Bangalore - focus Big10, Circle routes?

silkboard - 1-OCT-2010

First things first. If you don't like BRT, think it absolutely can't be done, please keep out, and discuss on other posts.

Shanthinagar - TTMC

Sunil Kumar - 23-SEP-2010

This morning I was passing by Shanthinagar & noticed the full fledge arrangements for the TTMC opening today & my bus was also not allowed to enter the bus stand. Noticed the TTMC work is far from completion but the inguration was scheduled today. I still dont understand the Shanthinagar bus stand currently is just in line with a Jayanagar or Kengeri TTMC.
