Preaching to the choir – converting people to use public transport

ashfaq syed - 10-FEB-2010

Back in 1990’s driving was a pleasure on American Roads.   Many evenings were spent going on a long drive enjoying the pleasure of driving the car on smooth and light traffic highways.  People used to drive 50 miles every night just to put a child to sleep.  Gas was cheap, traf

BMTC Issues - From RCA perspective

Bheema.Upadhyaya - 8-FEB-2010

Getting a cue from this suvery I thought why not analyse (to some extent) from Root Cause Analysis perspective of TQM (Total Quality Management)? According to RCA we should find further causes of further levels.

So I am trying to just draft out whatever I think. Some of these may be just my imaginations or may feel too theoritical,  as we can not understand issues from driver and conductors perspective. I am of hope that this may create some leads towards solutions not any solution as such.

I am imagining survey Question as effects. However I am not analyzing any one from survey questions. But I am taking another simple effect ie, Buses not stopping in bus stops. This creates difficulties for a passenger, specially big problems for kids, pregnant ladies, senior citizens.

I am trying to categorize each cause for better quantification.

Effect  -

Buses not stopping in easy reach of  waiting passengers in bus shelter

Causes -

Flag-pole politics

BMTC - It is all in the numbers

ashfaq syed - 7-FEB-2010

One of the easiest scheduling problems to solve is when time and route are known.  If the time and at least one (pickup or destination) is fixed, then it is even easier to schedule.  If a pickup and drop schedule for 100 people going to an office has to be designed, simply get the pickup points and put it on a m
