Mejestic Bus stand FOB Skywalk why not provide the Roof cover.
Bangalore Mejestic BMTC bus stand can get back its glory by providing shelter of proper aesthetic on the FOB / Skywalk and ensure that FOB is also connected directly from Gandhi Bazar Side and Bangalore Railway Station.
As shown below, BMTC can provide roof cover with small amount expenditure and extend the skywalk on both sides so that people climbing up and down doing circus will not be required.
This will help during rains, summer days and even night it will be safe to cross entire streatch above the road.

Let vehicles do the circus! Send them up/down- NOT HUMANS

Vehicles can effortlessly climb a few hundred feet (if not a few thousand) up and down. Keep pedestrians at the ground level, lets keep BMTCs eyesores and the foul gas excreting vehicles out of sight.
I am surprised that we have to climb up and down to make way for their lordships - the ugly contraptions that the Bangalore Monopoly Torture Conspiracy imposes on us. GET REAL! Build something that serves us not yourselves, and spend some money, after all you can always raise ticket prices to break even parvej!!

It is high time that the number of buses waiting to enter are minimised by combining the routes in such a way that most combined routes will by-pass the Bus Station.
Bus stops may be provided outside for such routes.

No more skywalks only overdrives where vehicles go up/down

Every skywalk needs to be taken down and replaced with an "overdrive"
On a overdrive the vehicle will climb a steep slope up away from humans and descend away from the pedestrian crossing area. these must be enclosed so any pollution is fed back to the vehicles.
This will be accepted by the System, just based on the opportunities offered for their people to make money. I see that the diesel under recovery is now minimal so the extra money can be used to fund this, plus a nominal toll / cess of Rs 10 per litre will also help Our esteemed R&D can provide some 'innovations' to extract energy from the descending vehicles to power lights and air cleaners nearby.
LETS PETITION THE NEW PRIME MINISTER, HE SEEMS MORE LIKELY TO GET THE JOB DONE FROM WHAT I HEAR ON THE PROPAGANDA MACHINE.
Attempt to popularise skywalks at KBS

To popularise the use of skywalks even during the rains, the ministers directed BMTC to construct shelters on the currently-open pedestrian crossing.

Last year June2014, we had taken up with Present MD Kaur BMTC to provide shelter for BMTC foot over bridge at KBS.
Response was BMTC does not have funds to take up. I hope now with both Ministers singing the song, MD will act without funds.
Feel sorry for these officers who act based the Minister and MPs instructions only.
Can we send petition to BMTC MD and Transport Minister ???

We should send peiton to BMTC MD and Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy to provide this facility which will go long way in attracting Public Transport commuters and Pedestrains.
