Bus Priority - calling for help

Bangalore BMTC Bus BRTS Transportation public transport BPS
Bus Priority System may or may not be BRTS, but if you agree that the Bus needs some speeding up, and want BRTS or good enough half-measures for Bangalore, we need you. Bus Priority System (BPS) may seem like castles in thin air right now, but it will remain that way a bit longer if you decide to keep away. To your question - what help does the project need? Here:
- Help find experts who may be willing to lend a helping hand. Since we may get technical in the "demand report", endorsement from experts will help
- Help find and close sponsors who can pitch in if and when we require paying for things like data, field work, or technical advice.
- If you know the subject of BRTS and Bangalore's corridors well, help in writing the demand report.
- If you know any technocrats, or have sarkaari contacts who you think can help, we will need to tap into that.
- Have media contacts, or are a mediaperson yourself, project will require some mass media in due course of time
BPS G1-pilot project needs some people for either of above. You have been reading here long enough, it is time to turn yourself in :)

Online is okay, sketching, proof reading, compiling summaries etc should come up soon.
Need 2-3 more people, 1-2 in Bangalore, and that should be it to take the project forward.

I am in too, as long as it is "Bus Priority System" and and not BRT.
And, most welcome Karthik, aka 'ilihct' (whatever that is) - good to have you on board.

Paging you guys. mostly online and analysis work, 2-3 of us will run around for meetings etc. Time for Bus PT backers to step up. More the people on project, less the work for everyone.
