Whitefield TTMC - work in full swing sanjayv - 16-JAN-2010
I passed by the Whitefield TTMC, which is located near the Vaidehi hospital within the EPIP Industrial zone. Construction is ongoing, in full swing.

What's your Bangalore Bus dream? I will tell you mine. Take local area bus to get to nearest Large bus stop in your sub-urb or locality. Or take your car to the Park And Ride Plaza in your sub-urb. Then change to a Big10. Dedicated lanes at places make sure you feel good about watching the cars wait in jams and chaos. |
