Traffic ticket received by mistake

nithinsujir - 6-OCT-2009

I need some advise on how to proceed with my situation. I received a ticket in post for apparently riding on the footpath at Adugodi Uco bank junction.

It carries 4.2 lakh passengers a day that is three times of the Delhi Metro which is more than thrice as long. It is faster too.

I always follow traffic rules and also make sure that if I am pillion riding or sitting in car, the driver should also follow traffic rules. Today something happened to us which was not good -

The Pedestrian Crush

This is what Bangalore needs to learn as we move on.The reason it's so crowded here is not because there's not enough space, it's because we give all of our space to the least spatially-efficient form of transportation available.

Did you notice yesterday's (Monday) traffic mess?

I had to do 6 trips y'day (Mysore Road, Indian Express, BTM, CBD Area).  Every single one took almost twice as long as it generally takes. Five others I spoke to had the same experience (travelling in different parts of Bangalore).
