Hubli-Bangalore-Mysore, Full Speed Ahead!! 09/17/07 14:30 - tsubba
It is the season of big plans, UP has announced a staggering 1000kms of 8 lanes expressway running the entire length of the state from east to west. Not to be outdone, inspired by a CII proposal for a Mumbai-Bangalore-Chennai high speed freight corridor, the KA state government has tossed in the idea for a high speed passenger corridor in KA, that'll do Bangalore-Hubli in 2 hours, Bangalore-Mysore in 40 minutes. This, apparently, is the "Just In Time" concept to de-congest Bangalore. person tsubba's post | forum 5 Comments | Read More

BIAL Airport connectivity - a new four-lane expressway? 09/15/07 10:38 - silkboard
Deccan Herald ran long writeups on Airport connectivity last week, and their reporters did some realistic time checks as well. We know most of those things: extending Metro from Byappanahalli, the now famous six-lane BIAL expressway, check-in counters at railway station itself. But there were some plans and ideas I had not heard in greater details earlier. person silkboard's post | forum 5 Comments | Read More

Hyderabad flyover collapse: engineering gone bad? 09/14/07 06:22 - shas3n
The recent collapse of a Flyover under construction at Hyderabad is indeed a wake-up call for all those who are involved in building and maintaining flyovers. It also underscores the need for active watchdog efforts from citizens that could have prevented this and other similar disasters. I received a PPT file with a few photos of the section that collapsed. (See attached file). person shas3n's post | Read More |

BMTC e-purse to be introduced next week 09/13/07 08:23 - shas3n
Yes, it is almost there. In about a week, BMTC will introduce e-purse which can be used to pay for your BMTC tickets instead of cash. The first phase of the roll out will be experimental and this scheme will soon be expanded after KEONICS finds BOOT partners to implement the system. Ella OK but I have some quirks about the way it is implemented. person shas3n's post | forum 14 Comments | Read More
