Mobilicity has been an annual event for last few years, and the event has seeded several projects here, like Bus Day, Namma Railu, NMT Advocacy, Bus Priority System and few more. Last few years, "Mobilicity" has mostly been a single round table type event to discuss and understand a few topics. This year, to increase the focus on action, for increased involvement, and regular communication on projects, Mobilicity 2013 would have a new format
- We start with this event to brainstorm and evolve priorities.
- On March 6, we will leave with top ranked or prioritized project concepts.
- We will then pick 2-3 of these for action, to pursue them as projects with the blessings of everyone involved. We = everyoneinterested, all are welcome to be a participant in the projects that would be started.
- For all project concepts picked for work and action, there will be a quarterly event to share updates with everyone - government side stakeholders, enthusiastic and participating citizens, academia and potential partners from the industry.
Please do your best to make time, register for the event (click here) and be in attendance on March 6, at 9.30 am, venue CiSTUP.

I think he is an advisor to GoK. He may have good ideas reg Transportation and Mobility issues. Has he been invited to the event?.
No dearth of solutions and ideas!

@ MaheshK,
There is no dearth of solutions, ideas for fixing the mobility issues in Bangalore. There are tons of proposals on the GOK table. What is missing is will and vision from GOK for their implementation. Many a times the tunnel vision and 'My Way' attitude of so called experts is also playing a role in simple, cost effective solutions being put aside to pave way for expensive, complicated and imported solutions.

SB,
Pls correct the attached flyer/brochure as it still reads as “Mobilicity 2013: Forum for Sustainable Bengaluru” on 16th February 2013 as part of its 4th Foundation Day".
