Ring Roads - whats up BMRDA?

silkboard - 1-APR-2008

Whats up with BMRDA? Their website has been dead for almost an year now, though that is not the best measure or indicator of their activity levels. Their plans for developing satellite towns around Bangalore have a real shot at solving our city's problems by de-congesting it. But there haven't been concrete updates recently.

Urban Rail - The Chennai Experience

Naveen - 1-APR-2008

Sometime back, I remember reading a report in a magazine (published from either HongKong or Singapore) about the Chennai Suburban Rail (CRS) & the newer MRTS. This report, I think was actually based on a study for economic assistance for expansion of the Chennai MRTS (Phases 2 & 3).

Bangalore pays second highest direct taxes in the country

mcadambi - 1-APR-2008

According to the new RBI report on Municipal Finances in India, as indexed in the recent Budget speech of BBMP, Municipal finances of Bangalore rank very low. What is startling is that even tough we pay the second highest share of direct taxes (i.e personal taxes like what you and me pay out of our salary), it has no correlation with the per capita municipal tax.

Bus Turnouts

blrsri - 30-MAR-2008

Bus turnouts are bus stop areas that are recessed from the thoroughfare. The turnout provides an en route bus with an off-street service point that does not interfere with traffic movement and provides a safe waiting area for transit users.

Congrats Naveen and thanks Deccan Herald

admin123 - 30-MAR-2008

Thanks Deccan Herald for taking note of Praja. They are carrying Capt Naveen's suggestion about Koramangala 100 ft road today in full, and have mentioned Praja as a site launched by "a few IT professionals with concerns about IT capital of the country". Congrats Capt Naveen, you got almost half of page 3 on Sunday DH!
