Civil engineering greatness on ORR

Hello Everyone, If you haven't experienced or haven't heard about this, there was a horrible traffic pile up on Wednesday morning on ORR underpass near the Cisco Offices and Prestige Tech Park.

Fix the Big Circle buses

Recently Nayandahalli railway underbridge opened completing the ring of Bangalore ring road. But the Big circle buses still continue to ply via kengeri which will reduce its usefulness drastically.

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.
