BTMC Issues - From RCA Perspective-2 Bheema.Upadhyaya - 19-MAR-2010
This is in continuation of my last post. This time I thought to take delayed disturbed scheduling. As you all aware, RCA is simple technique to find out root causes and thus first step to eliminate bad causes. Some of the caused may be repetitive from last post. But if repeated it should be considered as a major cause and should be given priority.
Effect - Buses not operating in time thus causing inconvinience to public and to BMTC scheduling system itself Causes due to - 1. Traffic Jam at Signal due to -> Long Signals -> Heavy Vehicle Rush -> No traffic Management in junctions -> No signal 2. Traffic Jam at Roads due to |

Bheema.Upadhyaya - 12-MAR-2010
[Cross posted from my suggestion to BMTC via their website.] If KSRTC can issue the travel e-ticket using credit card and ID card combination, why can not issue daily/weekly/monthly pass electronically? I am sure many people will opt for it and reselling will reduce though not to great extent. |

What will make Bus Day a better success? kbsyed61 - 6-MAR-2010
We all are looking for answer to one question. How can BMTC make the Bus Day a better success? The success being large numbers taking the bus on Bus day? Praja survey and poll has already given the answers to this question. One important factor that is eluding the Bus Day is, TRUST from citizens of Namma Bengaluru. |
April Bus Day - date changed to 7th silkboard - 5-MAR-2010
Can we try something different this time? Get celebrities in? Request some radio channels to publicize the event? Watch for and join some planing meetings prior to this Bus Day.

BMTC is announcing new local shuttle routes for March 4 Bus Day. Instead of smaller multiple local feeder loops, we have a largish loop covering Indiranagar, Domlur and Koramangala. Frequency promised is 10 minutes, so that will help. |
City, people, public - mingle on March 4 silkboard - 26-FEB-2010
Who said the job is done!? Sure, the second Bus Day will not get as much publicity as the first one. "Oh, there they go again". So what!? This is our chance, to surprise people. An event is one thing, and a tradition another. A monthly event gives everyone the chance to do some progressive experiments and thinking. Everyone as in, BMTC, involved organizations and the individuals who'd spread the word. Yes, just take the Bus, and get the rights to crib about what you didn't like, becuase you would be speaking from experience. And if you like the ride, tell the world that public transport is worth it. |
Private buses using BMTC stops for waiting Bheema.Upadhyaya - 24-FEB-2010
While I appreciate government's(NHAI) efforts to complete the hosur road bus stops, I observed they are not used by BMTC to full extent. I have earlier posted a blog regarding possible root causes. |
Bheema.Upadhyaya - 23-FEB-2010
I saw 2 months back, Madiwala police station bus stop has been relocated to madiwala market with a better infrastructure. What I mean is there is a laybye for buses to stop , at least 3 buses at a time. It was also tarred, I guess at least with cost of 10 lakhs. It had also a footpath-cum-waiting place for passengers. |
