Metro, not NimBus (BPS) , needed for ORR

2-NOV-2019 12:11:00 AM -- srinidhi

The govt along with various organizations like DULT is gearing up for the launch of  NimBus or the Bus Priority System(BPS) planned on the ORR. This, on the outset, seems a sane decision, probably a little late in coming though.. This is because the weird designs of flyovers, with separated...

Thought I should share an incident that happened today as I was going to work (around 9 AM, Monday, 26th Aug, '19); and some thoughts. Might help others.

Fear and Tender S.U.R.E

20-MAR-2019 05:30:00 AM -- srinidhi

First would like to start with saying that Tender SURE was indeed a ground breaking effort, literally too, in many ways. Uniform Carriage way and few other principles which are new and commendable.

However the original Tender SURE and the other versions thereafter like the BBMP version of  TenderSURE 'Lite'...

An outline for a most equitable public bus transport model

16-JUL-2019 05:16:00 PM -- murali772

There had been estimates from long that the city needed far more buses than the BMTC was operating, and it was also known that the need was being partially met by the private operators. But, nobody knew that between the private operators and the schools, there were over 6 times the numbers operated...

Bengaluru footpath issues/solution

13-APR-2019 05:30:00 AM -- srinidhi

Bangalore footpaths are unusable at many places and the result is that pedestrians are forced onto the roads where they run a risk of getting hit by vehicular traffic. Many interesting videos are done to show this problem. A recent one by Malleshwaram Socail  is here below:

BBMP seeks public help to fix plan violations

5-AUG-2019 12:16:00 PM -- srinidhi

It seems straight out of the STASI manual from earstwhile East Germany, where folks within families were known to spy on each other. But however weird it seems, BBMP plan to get public/neighbours to check on by-law violations might just as well work. The details of the BBMP plan is...

Bellandur - Varthur wetland encroachments

15-FEB-2019 05:30:00 AM -- srinidhi

The saga of encroachments and land grabbing on Bellandur lake is very painful to say the least. Its a prime example of how a historical waterbody has been turned to waste just because of human greed. Land grabbers are the worst of the lot who first encraoch and then 'create' paperwork...
