Big10 concept - Circle Routes are here?

502

Bangalore BMTC Bus Abide Citizen Reports Routing Big10 Transportation public transport

I have been seeing these new routes marked C-1 (for Circle 1 ?) for a few weeks now. Was waiting for some crisp annnouncement or press release, haven't noticed anything big yet, so posting.

Pretty colorful body, so much so that when I asked a few waiting passengers near Intel, they thought it was some private bus. Once you read the sign board carefully - 500 something - you may not have this confusion.

So will all the 500 routes get merged into this C-1? I haven't noticed any route merges (333P, 333E etc) on the Big10 routes yet, but this one may be different - 500D could simply be converted into C-1. Merging other 500 extensions may not happen sooon enough, though we know that converting major points on Outer Ring Road into bus exchange points (get off Circle route, get into a Big10, or a local route) will be the way to go.

Lets wait to see and hear more.

Generally though Jantis are a pain tehy are quite suited for peak hour. There is a huge amount of space to stand in the bus and it is not ucomfortable even if crowded.

Inner Circle A Thought

Vasanth - 23 January, 2010 - 11:37

This is my thought on the inner circle, there is some problem with the map near Jayamahal and Mekhri Circle which I did some mistake while drawing lines..Sorry for that, I will post a corrected one shortly.

Route is like this - Mekhri Circle - RT Nagar - Indiranagar - Domlur - Koramangala - Forum - Diary Circle - Siddapura Road - Lalbagh West Gate - Ashrama - Hanumanthnagar - Bank Colony - Outer Ring Road - Nayandahalli - Vijaynagar - Navarang - Harischandra Ghat - KC General Hospital - Malleshwaram - IISC -Mekhri Circle.

Someone near RT Nagar can suggest better route between Mekhri Circle and Indiranagar.

Trunk routes and local zones

silkboard - 21 September, 2009 - 13:54

Tried drawing out the possible dream to chase. Radial lines aren't aligning perfectly with the actual routes (Big10, or Metro), as I did a quick one to convey the concept/possibility.

  • Trunk routes are radial (to fit with city's road shape. We all know a north-south east-west set of trunk routes would be idea, but our trunk roads are not like that
  • Radial trunk route = mostly Big10, Metro as well (OMR, South Line) when it is ready
  • Focus on city's future - the zones between Outer Ring Road and Peripheral Ring Road
  • Mark out zones with trunk routes as boundaries. Focus local routes inside the "zones"
  • Trunk routes to have very few but key stops at:
    • Designated points to serve as transfers to local zones
    • Intersections with other trunk routes

Will try a better aligned version of this if needed. Is this where we should or would be headed with Big10 and Circles?

Big Circle Route - RFC with little rationalization

Vasanth - 8 January, 2010 - 17:07

 This is my own vision of Big Circle route which instead of passing on ORR throughout, will have little rationaliztion on the Western portion from Nayandahalli to Lottigehalli passing through Vijaynagar, Basaveshwaranagar, Rajajinagar, Malleshwaram, Matthikere is densly populated compared to empty ORR especially from Nayandahalli to Kengeri and Kengeri to NagarbhaviLayout which was mainly built to bypass trucks from city.

We can have circular feeder routes touching this as well as Metro stations connecting interiors of Bangalore. This will prevent long trips as well as provide connectivity to densly populated and important localities.
