BIAL and RGIA, a comparison

06/03/08 18:59 - anent

Two new airports that opened in quick succession, the comparison was inevitable! I thought it was a good idea to set the records straight by doing a comparison between the two and while I am at it, compile some useful information too. I am glad to share it on Praja and look forward for your comments.

Traffic signals on Bellary Road

06/03/08 09:15 - mcadambi

Hi all, As most of us have experienced, there is a huge jam on the junction of D Rajagopal that is a left towards Sanjaynagar from Bellary Road. Because of the existing traffic signal, traffic on both ways, from BIAL on Bellary Road and to BIAL on Bellary Road is stuck up for a long time at this signal.

Pollution getting worse..not by increase in vehicle numbers ?!

06/03/08 06:41 - blrsri

TIO report today says that newer vehicles on road are polluting more than the older vehicles !

"new cars in India are spewing more greenhouse gasses than older models,
pushing up emissions in Delhi alone by 72% in five years (2002-07), the Centre for Science and Environment said on Monday, releasing
its analysis of emissions data accessed from the Automotive Research Association of India."

One reason they mention is that size/power of vehicles in increasing and hence the reduction in mileage..fair enough.

modern metered taxis in Pune

06/02/08 04:48 - sanchitnis

I am not aware of any modern metered taxi service like other major cities in India where one can book taxis over phone or web. Currently there are old rickety yello/black cabs only at airport or Railways station and they do not use meters even though they are supposed to.

Any reason why the progressive city of Pune lacks such a basic service?

Cooperative Transport

06/02/08 04:45 - sanchitnis

I am proposing something in between public transport and car pooling - we can call it "Cooperative transport".

Daily commuters along a fixed corridor and fixed timings can come together to hire a vehicle from BMTC or any private vehicle provider. The elected 'leader' can manage all coordination activities.

Bus services - a different approach

06/01/08 16:37 - murali772

"Vayu Vajra I am told is very convenient - for 150 rupees - starts from Aishwarya stores - supposed to be at every half an hour - but that's not the case. I was told today morning that they have one at 3.40pm but when I reached I realised it got cancelled and the next one was only at 6.40 PM.

Luckily, they had this cheaper alternative called 'Suvarna' for 80 rupees at 3.50 PM and I am now on my way!! The driver fellow has promised to reach in 90 minutes - but I doubt it; since he is stopping at every stop shouting airport airport airport airport..... ."

Core Ring Road (ICCR) as BRTS

06/01/08 00:17 - Transmogrifier

Any new developments regarding the Core Ring Road (ICCR)? I was looking through a couple of BBMP design documents (alignment etc.) that silkboard posted here quite a while back on his blog from BBMP.

A couple of thoughts on the present BBMP plans before I make a few suggestions.
