Soliciting calls from "outside" on the rise, Kannada usage declining? 04/29/08 07:09 - nijavaada
Very recently I had an experience where in I received a soliciting call from one of the reputed Indian banks. The weirdest part of the call was when it began ringing. I noticed that it was from a number based in Chennai, in Tamilnadu. Unassumingly I picked up the call thinking it could be either a long-time-no-call friend of mine, or some wrong number! person nijavaada's post | forum 2 Comments | Read More

Yes or No for BRTS - stats and numbers? 04/29/08 06:19 - silkboard
There are multiple threads popping on BRTS here and elsewhere, thanks to the situation at Delhi and Pune. Here is one more, but focused only on gathering statstics required to support or counter the BRTS decisions. What would be realistic ridership targets for a BRTS at Bangalore, Pune or Delhi - basically, size of target market? What is the current profile of road space usage? What is the average commute distance in these cities (Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, Ahmedabad)? person silkboard's post | forum 13 Comments | Read More

What we have missed is the light rail transit option..its found that many cities accross europe and the americas use the light rail feature to decongest the roads. This provides a clean and a fast way to commute.. person blrsri's post | forum 14 Comments | Read More

What will help ensure vehicles stop behind stop line 04/26/08 17:10 - asj
Typically in India at traffic lights we see vehicles stop well beyond stop lines. In my observation, the location of traffic lights is faulty in first place. person asj's post | forum 6 Comments | Read More

Police in Karnataka and whole of India is lagging behind in terms of infrastructure and skilled personnel. If we see advanced countries, Police is so powerful. Citizens do not dare to play around the police. person Vasanth's post | Read More |

CCTF Report 5: The Grid System of Buses 04/25/08 13:51 - admin123
The key recommendation of this Task Force is that there needs to be better connectivity among various parts of the city. Buses play a very important role in urban transport, at very least providing last mile connectivity for all passengers. The choice of the public transport system will play a crucial role in the development of the city. As highlighted in earlier reports of the BMTC, the choice that Bangalore has is one between an organised public transport system and one where public transport becomes highly de-regulated and fragmented. person admin123's post | forum 2 Comments | Read More

CCTF Report 3: Present Transport Situation 04/24/08 15:16 - admin123
The present bus system has to be seen in the context of the history of Bangalore and its development as a city. The original city has a clearly and visibly bifurcated development with a Cantonment area controlled by the British Raj and a Western area under the control of the erstwhile Maharaja of Mysore. Two centres developed with one around Shivaji Nagar and the second around what is today called K R Market or Kalasipalayam. Subsequently, the creation of the City Railway Station and the formation of the Bus Station led to a third centre within the city. The current bus system was designed to serve the needs of this original city layout. However, the urban sprawl that has been created through an almost relentless growth in the city from the 1960’s has resulted in the existing model of bus transport not being able to support the growing needs of the city.
