No one wants to go in City Buses

jakkura - 10-NOV-2010

CITY BUSES ARE SO much full and even girls or old people will not get a seat. And who wants to go to ITPL or Electronic city or Yellahanka or Penya how will they go soon at 8 o clock office hours. Only some of the IT sector people have flexible hours, and still IT sector does not have work from home option, very few companies have work from home option.

BMTC and monopoly - opening up Local Bus Transport in Bangalore

silkboard - 1-NOV-2010

BMTC has monopoly in operating road based public transport services in Bangalore. No-one is allowed to operate buses to carry general public in Bangalore.

Interchange hubs for inter-city travelers in Bangalore?

silkboard - 1-NOV-2010

How is Bangalore doing on Interchanges or transit centers? Not to be mixed with the burning need for local transit / bus change centers, where TTMCs have simply not filled the gap, and changing buses is a painfully inconvenient thing in general, the problem area is with long distance public transport. How do people arrive at the city, and then go to their final destination point?

How does congestion pricing work?

idontspam - 1-NOV-2010

This nice video summarizes what we have been discussing on these congestion pricing threads. How do you make it "fair"

Would you choose a bicycle if it was made available at namma metro stations?
