Bangalore BMTC Bus Sign Boards Transportation public transport
I want to start a project where i am able to implement bus route maps in the form of glowing ( for night) signages which are clear, visible, depicting 'where you are' and the nearby bus routes from the stop to main stops in bangalore. The purpose it to help bus commuters locate themselves and commute with comfort without worrying about how to reach their destination, specially for outstation people, foreigners and non-kannada speaking people.
My idea is to have the map in English and Kannada for ease of use by everyone in the city.
This will also be a step towards a better planed bangalore city.
Request you to post ideas as to how the map should be, how much would one cost, how many such bus stops are in bangalore ? How to get sponsors to fund my project etc.

I just got last minute update from BMTC official that they have last minute trouble to make it. So they proposed 4pm instead.
Kindly pass on the message to everyone invovled.

It was long 3 hour meet with BMTC. Lots discussed but focus was on approach for designing a display board system. Idea was to make it upto-date, and a sustainable system in long run. We will see more details here soon.

My suggestion would be to keep this seperate as this thread may get submerged in the numerous posts under bus stop design.
