Every now and then i see one or the other organisation opposing the metro. No doubt they entitled to their views, but do they ever see the benefits any metro brings to cities,(especillay the crowded ones like bangalore, mumbai etc) Let me quote a few points from PIB regarding the delhi metro, i am sure such benefits will accrue to bangalore also once the metro is complete |

Unpaid traffic fines - a survey s_yajaman - 29-OCT-2009
Was checking if there were any fines against my car's number at www.btis.in. None. Then I decided to do a random sampling of cars on unpaid fines. Did a random sample of 100 cars across the 5 RTOs for unpaid violations and fine amounts. This would be fairly representative as the number is quite large for a sample. |

Is Bangalore a good place to bring up a child? s_yajaman - 11-OCT-2009
IDS's post on the Olympics set me thinking a bit. Though the title of my post refers to Bangalore, we can substitute "any Indian mega city" in its place. Bangalore today is very different from the Bangalore in which I grew up (70s and 80s). I won't get into that too much. |

I would suggest we start building an Olympic park near Bangalore so we can bid for 2020 olympics. Of the BRIC countries only we havent won the bid to host an Olympics yet. The economy is booming and we can get some funding/private participation now. |

Read this in DH today. http://www.deccanherald.com/content/28436/tight-schedule-leads-mishap.html Quite a damning report on BMTC's irresponsible practices. I think quite a bit of discussion has taken place around this. |
