City, people, public - mingle on March 4 silkboard - 26-FEB-2010
An event is one thing, and a tradition another. A monthly event gives everyone the chance to do some progressive experiments and thinking. Everyone as in, BMTC, involved organizations and the individuals who'd spread the word. Yes, just take the Bus, and get the rights to crib about what you didn't like, becuase you would be speaking from experience. And if you like the ride, tell the world that public transport is worth it. |

Local shuttle ideas for next Bus Day (March 4) silkboard - 22-FEB-2010
Now that BMTC and Transport Minister have liked the concept, let us make suggestions to make the most, and more immportant. meaningful use of the idea-pad cum marketing event called Bus Day. For starters, I think we should try do not more than 2 corridors on each Bus day. 5 is a lot to cover and do, there is no point being wide but thin in coverage. |

I want to suggest a Railway link between Tumkur with Hindupur, both falling in the south westren Rail zone. This will help everyone in west & southwest regions to reach Puttaparthy which is a place to go for many people. |

Tata magic or winger for last mile connectivity vinod_shankar - 16-FEB-2010
I'm proposing a few options for last mile connectivity. If BMTC cannot operate shuttle service, then it makes sense for BMTC to buy the vehicles and ask private players to operate on designated route and frequency.

srinidhi - 16-FEB-2010
JnNurm funds are being used and announcements being made by BMTC about launching new busses on Blr roads..everything is being done in a hurry.. They are saying about 200 of Marcopolo's will be ordered..are they worth it? They cost 20-30% less than the Volvo's but have been found lacking in refinements which are basic at that cost! 1. The engines are way too noisy...even on normal roads..the bus struggles to start and passengers in the bus can hear the loud engine..even people in the traffic arround the bus can hear the loud noise! 2. The AC is not efficient..there are reports of passengers sweating inside the bus! 3.The automatic doors have issues and transmission too With all the issues, is it really worth going for these busses.. On the other hand KSRTC low floor bus design has been found commendable by the centre http://www.deccanherald.com/content/52727/centre-commends-ksrtc-bus-design.html Should we just go for such busses than the Marcopolos? |
