Driving on Platform / Footpath 04/13/08 03:49 - anent
In cities like Bangalore, two wheelers choose Platform / Footpath as an alternate driveway during rush hours. This could be highly dangerous to Pedestrians walking on the platform. Rather than Traffic Police caught these folks - people (two wheelers) should think before they get on to a platform as a travel route! person anent's post | forum 6 Comments | Read More

Kannada license plate numbers on the increase? 04/12/08 10:42 - s_yajaman
I am sure I will get my fair share of brickbats for this one but here goes... Of late I have seen an increase in the number of vehicles with Kannada number plates. This is illegal per the provision of rule-50, sub-rule-2 and proviso-D of Central Motor Vehicle Rules, 1989, which specifically states that letters on vehicle number plate should be in English and numerals in Arabic. The Government of India in a notification (No.SO. 444E dated June 12, 1989) issued under Section-41 (6) of the Motor Vehicle Act , 1988, also made these rules mandatory. person s_yajaman's post | forum 133 Comments | Read More

I am posting this as a blog entry as it will be a very good suggestion if implemented. We see lot buildings sprouting everywhere in Bangalore. Henceforth BDA / BMRDA / BBMP and all Municipalities & Panchayats should ensure that any building is constucted so that sufficient parking space is available. for example: person ssheragu's post | forum 2 Comments | Read More

Part III: ITPL and surrounding areas not covered 04/10/08 13:00 - Naveen
Dense areas
leading up to ITPL & surroundings not covered
The recommended Metro transit
corridor (in Phase-2) to Whitefield is shown passing along the existing
Airport road straight east towards Varthur, thence northwards towards
Whitefield Commuter railway station. Thus, the more developed areas in
Whitefield, where most tech companies, businesses & high-rise
residences are situated, are not covered. It may be far more functional
if this route could turn left at Karunashraya & pass through
Kundalahalli cross, turn right opposite Graphite India & pass
through KIADB area, ITPL & Kadugodi before aligning with Whitefield
road. There are no direct mass-transit routes otherwise recommended to
these points in the CTTP, & a TTMC proposed at ITPL may not help as
commuters would need to interchange modes. Quality seeking
professionals, who are sensitive to traffic delays, detest
inconveniences such as transfers, any time penalty that usually cannot
be avoided when changing modes & who generally use private
vehicles, commute daily to these areas, & will also start
preferring the Metro with the convenience of this realignment &
direct connectivity. An additional rapid bus corridor can be arranged
from Marathalli /Karunashraya to Whitefield CR station via the broad
Varthur road to fill the gap there as a result of this re-alignment, if
volumes justify the need.

Part III: South East CBD areas not connected 04/10/08 12:55 - Naveen
South East
CBD areas not connected.
The attached Sketch “CTTP–No MRTS
within SE CBD” indicates that the very large area marked by a red
outline – the South-Eastern quadrant of the inner core area within CRR
that has important CBD points such as JC Rd (105,000 PCUs), KH Rd
(96,000 PCUs), Lalbagh Rd (61,000 PCUs), Corporation /Hudson Circle
& Richmond Circle does not have convenient Mass transit within easy
reach. Very large nos. of commuters travel to activity centers around
these areas daily & school going children /staff to various schools
& offices arriving by private vehicles choke up Richmond /Residency
roads during school times. The only TTMC at Shantinagar may not attract
these commuters due to the inconvenience of long distances, transfer to
buses & the time delay involved.
