The Absurdity of Signal Timing at Ejipura Road

amu - 6-DEC-2010

I travel daily from Koramangala to Domlur via the 100ft road. There is a huge traffic jam at the Ejipura Crossing, any time of the day. I think this traffic jam is not due to the carrying capacity of the roads but the illogical/absurd green light timing.

Better facilities for private run buses!

kbsyed61 - 1-DEC-2010

There is no denial that private bus service is being operated in Bengaluru and other places without having its own/leased infrastructure like Terminus or bus stops. As noted in the Imran_haq's ordeal in Kalasipalya, in absence of proper infrastructure, these buses are making use of the public spaces like Roads, gullys, playgrounds even making use of no parking spaces.
