silkboard - 1-JAN-2010
Simple event with simple goals. Take the bus for your commute on Feb 4. Try it, and then tell the world (via a survey) why you wouldn't take the bus more often for your commute and solve two problems for the city - congestion, and air pollution. |

It is finally here. Feb 4th, 2010 is being planned by BMTC to be 'BUS DAY'. A day long event. All that we need to do is take the Bus on that day to work, business and any other engagements that we might have on that day. Isn't it a good idea. Start the new year with a promise to build sustainable living choices. |

Bus Priority System or partial-BRT for Bengaluru? silkboard - 19-DEC-2009
Why don't we take the bus? Ask around, or read past polls and discussions here for some common answers.

Those of us who actually use the Vajra buses for commuting do so mostly for speed first, comfort later. |

bharatm - 7-DEC-2009
Summary: I was thinking how one would campaign for public transport. I think there is lot more potential and advantages people can have from public transport other than the usual environment and money crap ( Sorry , but yes thats what my normal friends might say in the end). Lets try another way, convince them in a line. Details: |
