ashok_n - 23-APR-2010
Hello, A few thoughts and suggestions on the BMTC Bus services in the Whitefield-KR Puram- ORR areas. 1. Whitefield Saarige (WFS) service - At the outset, this is an excellent idea and it should be promoted more. But the current WFS routes are duplication of existing 500/335/333 routes. That is, the buses start from Marathahalli and go towards ITPL via either of the two routes. Suggestion - Change route of WFS-2 to : KR Puram --> Hoody Circle --> right turn --> Graphite India --> Brookefields --> Left turn at Kundalahalli gate --> Till Forum value mall on Varthur Road. Advantages - Varthur Road to KR Puram Tin factory connection; No duplication with any existing routes.

Pedestrian skywalk at KR Puram Ring Road chaos, finally silkboard - 7-MAR-2010
I am not a fan of skywalks (prefer regular ped-signals, or underpass), but the chaos that this place is - Outer Ring Road/Old Madras Road junction near Tin Factory, K R Puram - a pedestrian skywalk to cross 8 lanes of thick traffic should help. After our last round of complaints etc, the pedestrian signals had been operating for some time, they still are - either the light turns red, or cops stop traffic to let pedestrians cross. The skywalk (such a late arrival) is perhaps part of signal-free ORR project.

ORR bottleneck - Bhadrappa Layout idontspam - 7-NOV-2009
It is a good move by BDA to make the ORR Bhadrappa layout junction signal free. This junction assumes significance due to the fact that most of Sanjaynagar and RMV layout and gazillion other layouts in between use the Dr Rajagopal road/Gundappa road to reach ORR go towards the airport. |

Road width over pavement - Marathahalli example silkboard - 19-OCT-2009
First of all, credits to BDA or BBMP or ABIDe (who knows!?) or whoever is thinking about bus interchange points like Marathahalli ring Road and improving the pedestrian amenities there. So yes, something is better than nothing. However, if you watch the work, uncalled for and unscietific preference to road width over pavement is visible. Sample some pictures. |

Any info on ORR between mysore road and magadi road Ramesh - 23-SEP-2009
Anyone knows here the recent updates of magadi-mysore road ring road. (http://bangalore.praja.in/en/blog/ravi-d/2009/04/06/mysore-magadi-outer-ring-road-complete). As per my understanding the ring road and its service roads are completed but flyovers at magadi road junction and mysore road junction are not yet completed. If anybody knows the status of these flyovers can mention here. |
