I am aware that much needs doing with regards enhancing public transport in all Indian cities. What I am not convinced is whether all cities should have a BRT. Could there be simpler options that are more cost-effective? My answer to this question is a 'yes'. person asj's post | forum 113 Comments | Read More

Traffic is one thing and Public Transport another. Traffic is about moving vehicles, public transport people. Something like BTRAC is aimed at traffic management - wider roads, flyovers, signals an stuff. Enforcement on roads, how to drive etc are also more like traffic topics. Getting to know and discuss the upcoming BMLTA, tracking BMTC's efforts to enhance its services, and watching BMLTA, BMTC and Metro all work together to create public transport infrastructure - all this needs a dedicated 'forum' of its own. So, we have created a new high level project (see the list under "track projects') for the purpose. We expect that folks like Mr Muralidhar Rao, Sudhir, Vasanth, City.zen and others would contribute their awareness, knowledge and opinions there. Use the "Public Transport" label if you want your posts/threads to appear under this 'project'. person admin123's post | forum 2 Comments | Read More

When Vehicles are Prioritised over Humans (Pedestrians) 01/09/08 15:26 - asjI invite everyone to check this slide show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxQl6RSXW9o Though I have made an example of Pune, are any of our other small cities different? What we need is a back to the basics approach ''first footpaths, then roads'' only then will we get our urban planning right. person asj's post | forum 3 Comments | Read More

For a while we have been discussing the need for an integrated
authority to address issues of transportation and traffic. There is a
new authority precisely for this. Bangalore Metropolitan Land
Transport Authority (BMLTA). If that does not ring a bell, then you are
not alone. Chief secretary, A Ravindra, says it is the same with other
organizations that ought to be working with it. person tsubba's post | Read More |

What happened to BRTS between Hebbal and Silkboard on outer ring road? 01/06/08 12:56 - VasanthBRTS - A more buzzing word nowadays with most of the urban transport planners and educational institutions. IIT professors and Volvo marketing personnels are especially pushing this technology showing the cost benefits and ease of implementation. Bangalore MRTS plan contains a BRTS corridor from Hebbal to Silkboard along outer ring road. But, nothing is heard about that so far such as who is going to implement, is it going to be BOOT/BMTC owned etc. If at all if BRTS is confirmed on this part, then why delay? person Vasanth's post | forum 3 Comments | Read More
