Hi,

I am writing this message for the first time on Praja. Does any one have a clue when is the BMTC website going to be updated. There are a lot of new routes running on all Vajra,Suvarana & the site is not updated. Added to that todays newspaper is talking about 165 New buses by this month on lot of routes using JNNURM scheme.

 

Regards

Sunil

I am told a brand new BMTC website is close to being ready. We will get a completely redone website, though I am not sure if the new website is going to have automatic integration with the bus route database etc so that any new routes that get added show up without much delay.

Lets wait and watch.

Features Needed on the new website

Vasanth - 19 August, 2009 - 18:18

Following features are needed on new website:

1. Trip Planner - Taken from some travel website like yatra.com, makemytrip.com. They can also request from them and say powered by 'makemytrip.com' or something like that.

2. Timetables and maps of bus routes in PDF Format.

3. Tracking of the buses on the website.

4. Cancellations of routes or change of routes notifications.

5. Online daily and monthly pass purchase and renewal.

6. Bus station floor maps.

7. Connectivity info with other services like Metro / Mono.

 

 

New BMTC website up..

 New BMTC website seems to be up, atleast for testing. bmtcinfo.com is redirecting to the following site:

http://xenon.ebhasin.com:8080/bmtcinfo/site/index.jsp

 

It claims to under final stage of construction and testing. 

 

I found  bugs in the route search tool. The distances were way of the mark.The timings were like 796 Am..

I am yet to have a look at other features.

Devil is in the details!

pravn1984,

Thanks for the link. The layout seems to be simple and yet appealing. It seems they have listened to suggestions made on Praja.

Will cross-verify to what was suggested and what was implemented. You are right. The data is not correct. May be the site has only sample DB dump.

Will come back with detailed report after some detailed testing.
