It is finally here. Feb 4th, 2010 is being planned by BMTC to be 'BUS DAY'. A day long event.

All that we need to do is take the Bus on that day to work, business and any other engagements that we might have on that day.

Isn't it a good idea. Start the new year with a promise to build sustainable living choices.

Bus Priority System or partial-BRT for Bengaluru?

silkboard - 19-DEC-2009

Why don't we take the bus? Ask around, or read past polls and discussions here for some common answers. But this one thing is amongst the top reasons - the bus doesn't go any faster than my bike/car, it in fact takes longer. Those of us who actually use the Vajra buses for commuting do so mostly for speed first, comfort later.

vinod_shankar - 18-DEC-2009

For the past month or so, i have been regularly using the IR trains running between cantonment station and whitefield station to commute to my office near Whitefield.  I am travelling by train only in the mornings, as the frequency is decent. Its a struggle to find trains in the evenings.  I find the trains reliable and on schedule  most of the time.
